If yes, how do you control for their presence or absence in your assay or assays?

Do you use disease-specific antigens?

Do you use in-house controls? If you use these, how do you control potential infectivity and repeatability issue events? Have you a plan in place to deal with the regulatory limits coming?

If you do not currently use controls, how do you control the identification of the fundamental absence or presence of the disease you are investigating? How do you confirm that your assay is specific and accurate? What visuals do you have on operation control, traceability, and erroneous results?

Diagnostic and scientific assays typically only include assay-related controls, not pathogen-related ones, and without these, it is impossible to truly know what you are detecting! Microbix produces one of the largest ranges of infectious disease antigens specifically to help you have absolute confidence in your assays.
