Babesia Molecular Validation Swab Kit

Babesia Molecular Swabs are formulated with inactivated whole Babesia virus particles to mimic a positive clinical specimen. These controls may be used for all molecular testing formats. These swab controls are full-process and are designed to run with the same testing procedures as a patient sample so they can be used to monitor and QC all steps in molecular testing.
Babesia Molecular Swabs are used to evaluate the performance of Babesia molecular assays. It is recommended to run these swabs: for technician training, to monitor the effect of laboratory environmental conditions, to examine test kit lot-to-lot consistency, and to follow operator variation. The swabs should also be run according to your organization’s quality system requirements for QC testing or by using the recommendations from the test kit manufacturer. This product is intended for research and development use and should not be used for clinical diagnostic purposes.
Biosafety Level 2: Includes moderate-risk agents that are present in the community and associated with human. Organisms used to coat swabs are treated chemically to inactivate the virus particles using a validated proprietary protocol. However, all materials should considered as potentially infectious and should be handled with universal precautions.
