Molecular Control Panel Helix Elite™ Inactivated Standard Flu / RSV / SARS-CoV-2 (Inactivated Swab) Positive Level / Negative Level

The Flu/RSV/SARS-CoV-2 Control Panel (Inactivated Swab) consists of 6 individually packaged positive control swabs and 6 individually packaged negative control swabs

This control material is nonautomated and not intended to be used for screening, monitoring, or diagnosis

Positive Control (six swabs): Influenza A (H3N2) Virus, Influenza A (H1N1) Virus, Influenza B Virus, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, SARS-CoV-2 Virus, Human lung epithelial cells

Negative Control (six swabs): Coxsackievirus B1, Human lung epithelial cells

The viral particles have been inactivated using irradiation and chemical treatments, and the human cells have been inactivated using thermal treatment

Routine use of external quality controls monitor day to day performance of molecular testing procedures
