AcroMetrix® Quality Control (QC) Materials for Women’s Health Testing

AcroMetrix® women’s health testing products are highly standardized, independent quality control (QC) materials designed to help laboratories evaluate their molecular tests. AcroMetrix® women’s health testing QC materials assess the performance of nucleic acid test procedures aimed at detecting  human papillomavirus (HPV), Group B Streptococcus (GBS) DNA,  Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (CT/NG) and offer excellent traceability and reproducibility. Routine use of independent QC materials enables laboratories to monitor day-to-day test variation, lot-to-lot performance of test kits, and operator variation, and can assist in identifying increases in random or systematic errors.

AcroMetrix CT/NG Control

For laboratories in need of a quality control for the molecular detection of CT/NG, Life Technologies offers the new AcroMetrix® CT/NG Control. The AcroMetrix® CT/NG control helps laboratories maintain consistent quality across tests and ultimately achieve higher assurance in test results.


Benefits of AcroMetrix® GBS Positive Control

  • Traceability to help ensure accurate and consistent patient results
  • Ready to use in liquid form; add directly to the assay system or use with a swab
  • Full process controls that contain whole inactivated bacteria to help monitor the entire PCR process, from extraction through amplification and detection

 

For In Vitro Diagnostic Use



AcroMetrix® HPV Controls Mimic Real Samples

AcroMetrix® HPV Controls mimic true oncogenic samples. Each of the AcroMetrix® HPV Controls contains whole cells with an integrated HPV genome in liquid cytology preservative solution, expressing the E6/E7 mRNA and thus mimicking a true oncogenic sample. This means you get a true full-process control, from extraction through amplification and detection.

Benefits of AcroMetrix® HPV Controls

  • Flexibility in choosing the genotypes needed to help fulfill laboratory's quality control requirements
  • Compatible with samples obtained through Pap smears or biopsies
  • Suitable for use with specimens obtained by various procedures and stored in preservatives such as the Cervical Sampler or PreservCyt® solution
  • Designed to produce reactive (above the cutoff) results
