Thermo Fisher Scientific's quality control sets for monitoring serological tests for infectious diseases are now available.
The Thermo Scientific Mas Omni Infectious positive and negative quality controls are third-party, independent external controls used to assess the performance of serological assays for HIV types 1 and 2, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, and human T-cell leukemia virus types 1 and 2. Monitoring the assays' performance can streamline operations and may reduce spending without sacrificing quality, according to the company.
The quality controls are available in the U.S. and Japan as IVD products and are intended for clinical use.
