Frequently asked questions
Does this panel ensure high diagnostic accuracy?
Yes. This panel is specifically formulated to validate the performance of Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT) procedures. It provides high-quality control materials to ensure your diagnostic results meet rigorous quality assurance standards.
What organisms are used for the positive control?
The positive control swabs contain Streptococcus agalactiae, which is the causative agent of Group B Strep, allowing for precise verification of your testing system’s sensitivity.
Is the negative control robust enough for validation?
Absolutely. The negative control utilizes both Lactobacillus acidophilus and Escherichia coli. These serve as surrogates for sample adequacy, ensuring the test specificity is thoroughly verified.
Are the swabs stored in a stable format?
Yes, all 20 swabs are lyophilized (freeze-dried). This process ensures the stability and integrity of the control materials until they are ready for use in your laboratory.
Is this kit suitable for government clinical procurement?
Yes, this product is TAA (Trade Agreement Act) compliant, making it a suitable choice for government and clinical healthcare facilities that require verified, standardized quality control components.
How many tests can I perform with one kit?
Each kit provides a comprehensive set of 20 individually packaged swabs: 10 positive control swabs and 10 negative control swabs, enabling multiple rounds of instrument performance verification.
Is this panel designed for professional laboratory use?
Yes, it is explicitly intended for professional use in clinical diagnostic facilities, research laboratories, and molecular pathology departments to maintain standard operating procedure compliance.
Does the packaging help with laboratory organization?
Yes, the kit includes a professional-grade storage container, and each swab is individually sealed in labeled, metallic-finish packets to ensure sterility and easy identification of lot numbers and control types.
Can this be used to validate new assay lots?
Certainly. This panel is essential for routine quality assurance, the validation of new NAAT assay lots, and ongoing instrument performance verification to ensure your system remains within specification.
Is the product sourced from the United States?
Yes, this Helix Elite verification panel is manufactured in the United States, adhering to strict quality manufacturing standards for molecular diagnostic control solutions.
