Quality Controls

A broad portfolio for monitoring molecular and serology testing

Bio-Rad offers a wide range of infectious disease quality controls for both serology (antibody) and molecular (nucleic acid) testing. Our controls include tests for hepatitis and retrovirus as well as for sexually-transmitted, congenital, and respiratory diseases. They are compatible across platforms, meet international standards, and are manufactured according to the ISO 17511 standard. Long shelf lives help ensure performance of your assay and provide greater confidence in patient test results.

Independent, reliable testing

Broad disease portfolio, increased compatibility

With quality controls covering a wide range of infectious diseases, Bio-Rad’s portfolio substantially helps meet your QC testing needs. Our controls are derived from human plasma and are compatible with major infectious disease platforms.

High-quality, reproducible results

Our independent, high-quality controls meet strict quality metrics and are manufactured according to the ISO 17511 requirement. This helps to ensure reliable patient test results.

Verified assay performance, confidence in results

Our molecular controls offer verification panels, which help labs establish or verify performance characteristics, and daily run controls, which allow labs to monitor performance over time—providing added confidence in your test results.
