Molecular IVD companies continue to experience tighter and tighter regulations in regard to incorporating appropriate positive and negative controls into their assays.

The RT-qPCR Extraction Control Orange use artificial micelles of a known concentration that contain the Internal Control RNA sequence (with no known homology to any organism, so that it does not interfere with the detection of the sample target RNA). Genetic material from the test sample and the RNA extraction control are simultaneously extracted by common extraction methods, with the control being as sensitive to inhibitors and extraction failure as the test sample.simultaneously extracted by common extraction methods, with the control being as sensitive to inhibitors and extraction failure as the test sample.
