The ID CORE CONTROL kit consists of 2 sets of recombinant synthetic DNA plasmids to be used as positive controls to evaluate the performance of the ID CORE XT test(Kit Product Number: 1021720000). The ID CORE CONTROL kit contains two separate vials: ID CORE CONTROL 1 and ID CORE CONTROL 2, both composed of synthetic plasmid pools to be used as assayed positive controls for alternate alleles (alleles 1 and 2, respectively) of the 29 polymorphisms assayed by ID CORE XT. Both control vials must be used in every run of the ID CORE XT test as positive controls for the correct detection of the polymorphism genotypes interrogated by the test. Each control has expected polymorphism genotypes results in the ID CORE XT test when analyzed by the ID CORE XT ANALYSIS SOFTWARE and will produce a valid or invalid run result. ID CORE XT is a qualitative, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and hybridization-based genotyping test for the simultaneous identification of multiple allelesencoding human erythrocyte antigens (HEAs) in human genomic DNA. ID CORE XT interrogates 29 polymorphisms to predict 53 HEA allele genotypes and 37 antigen phenotypes of the following blood group systems: Rh, Kell, Kidd, Duffy, MNS, Diego, Dombrock, Colton, Cartwright and Lutheran, as an alternative to serology.
A material which is used to verify the performance of an assay intended to be used to evaluate a clinical specimen to determine the genotype for multiple blood groups. The blood group systems to be genotyped may include Rhesus (CcDEe), Kell (K, k, Kp^a, Kp^b), Duffy (Fy^a, Fy^b, Fy^x), Kidd (Jk^a, Jk^b), Lewis (Le^a, Le^b), MNS (M, N, S, s, U), Xg (Xg^a), Dombrock (Do^a, Do^b), Colton (Co^a, Co^b), Cartwright (Yt^a, Yt^b), Lutheran (Lu^a, Lu^b) and/or Diego (Di^a, Di^b). Some types may, in addition determine ABO blood groups.
