ZeptoMetrix SARS-Related Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) External Run Control

Description

SARS-Related Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) External Run Control is formulated with purified, intact viral particles (Positive control) and human A549 cells (Negative control).

• The virus particles have been chemically modified to render them non-infectious and refrigerator stable.
• These controls are provided in a proprietary matrix.
• NATtrol™ SARS-CoV-2 external run controls are designed to evaluate the performance of nucleic acid tests for determination of the presence of SARSCoV-2 RNA. NATSARS(COV2)-ERC and NATSARS(COV2)-NEG enable laboratories to monitor test variation, lot-to-lot test kit performance, operator variation, and can provide assistance in identifying random or systemic error.
• Extract nucleic acid prior to use in downstream assays that are not sample to result.
• Quality control materials should be used in accordance with local, state, federal, and accreditation requirements.
