MRSA Molecular Swabs are formulated with inactivated whole MRSA virus particles to mimic a positive clinical specimen. These controls may be used for all molecular testing formats. These swab controls are full-process and are designed to run according to the same testing procedures as a patient sample so they can be used to monitor and QC all steps in molecular testing. MRSA Molecular Swabs are used to evaluate the performance of MRSA molecular assays. It is recommended to run these swabs: for technician training, to monitor the effect of laboratory environmental conditions, to examine test kit lot-to-lot consistency, and to follow operator variation. The swabs should also be run according to your organization’s quality system requirements for QC testing or by using the recommendations from the test kit manufacturer. This product is intended for research and development use and should not be used for clinical diagnostic purposes. Biosafety Level 2: Includes moderate-risk agents that are present in the community and associated with human. Organisms used to coat swabs are treated chemically to inactivate the virus particles using a validated proprietary protocol. However, all materials should considered as potentially infectious and should be handled with universal precautions. Contents: 10x MRSA Molecular Positive Swab Controls 10x Negative Swab Controls
