SeraCare Panel Products
Performance Panels
• Undiluted samples collected from multiple donors of varied analyte concentration, genotype and ethnic/demographic diversity
• Offer a wide range of reactivities and comprehensive data for
comparing test methods
Seroconversion Panels
• Undiluted samples collected from a single donor during development of infection and subsequent immune response
• Provide important information on the viral ‘window period’ and human immune response for research and diagnostics
Assembled from actual, individual and undiluted human samples to mimic actual patient samples
Compatible with all platforms and test menus that can use previously frozen plasma
SeraCare Panel Products
Qualification Panels
• Sample sets for training staff, assessing competency and troubleshooting tests.
• Contain one negative and five diluted positive members that span the dynamic range of most test methods
Sensitivity and Linearity Panels
• Serially diluted patient samples designed to evaluate reportable range and low-end sensitivity of the test method
ACCURUN® Controls
Manufacturers and Clinical Labs rely on consistent control materials to monitor assay performance
• Human plasma and cell based controls mimic patient samples• Verify all aspects of assay from extraction to amplification and detection • No special handling or reconstitution needed• Formulated to provide low level positive performance• Single and multi-analyte controls: • Compliant with regulatory guidelines• Stable at refrigerated temperatures• Independent run controls meet quality requirements of regulatory agencies
and professional organizations
