NATtrol™ RP Multimarker Controls (MDZ001) consist of in vitro diagnostic external run controls intended for use with qualitative molecular assays. The routine and repetitive use of external run controls enables laboratories to monitor daily test variation, lot-to-lot test kit performance, individual operator variation, and can provide assistance in identifying increases in random or systemic error. NATtrol™ RP Multimarker Controls contain intact organisms and should be run in a manner identical to that used for clinical specimens.NATtrol™ RP Multimarker Controls are formulated with purified, intact organisms that have been chemically modified to render them non-infectious and refrigerator stable. Each control pack contains 3 x 0.75 mL vials of RP Multimarker 1 and 3 x 0.75 mL vials of RP Multimarker 2. NATtrol™ RP Multimarker Controls are formulated in a Purified Protein Matrix that is fully commutable with true clinical specimens.
A material which is used to verify the performance of an assay intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of nucleic acid from multiple different microorganisms typically associated with respiratory disease and/or one or multiple genes conferring antimicrobial resistance in microorganisms present in a clinical specimen.
