Infectious Disease Assay Development: Choosing the Appropriate External Controls

During the development of a molecular-based assay for infectious disease research, or when using a pre-qualified assay or sequencing tool, it is important to select appropriate external controls to evaluate and verify the performance of each process. This testing is imperative in tracking drift and run-to-run variation within a procedure. In the following white paper, we discuss the importance of choosing the appropriate external controls, and will provide information on how to select the appropriate cultures and nucleic acids for your tests.(*Required fields)
