Purpose of Positive and Negative Controls

Our range of controls are in liquid or lyophilized format containing preserved antigenic preparation that works for rapid tests. Positive controls are intended to validate the test conditions in the laboratory. They also help to familiarize with kind of specific signals obtained in rapid tests kits.

Rapid in vitro diagnostic tests that detect an antigen associated with an infectious disease by an antibody - antigen reaction allow to identify the presence of a pathogenic agent or a part of this agent in a sample in order to help in establishing the diagnostic of the disease or infection.
The availability of non-hazardous antigen positive controls is an essential and central component in the use of immunodiagnostic assays.
