Bio-Rad Laboratories EDX RP Positive Run Control

Bio-Rad Laboratories said that Exact Diagnostics has launched the EDX RP Positive Run Control, an unassayed external quality control for monitoring the performance of clinical respiratory assays. Bio-Rad acquired Exact Dx in the third quarter of 2019. Routine use of the EDX RP Positive Run Control allows labs to meet their individualized quality control goals, such as the evaluation of reagent lot changes and new shipments, Bio-Rad said. The control also monitors multiple identical devices and provides an evaluation of different personnel and locations. It contains 22 respiratory analytes that are internally value-assigned using Bio-Rads Digital Droplet PCR technology and is designed to test the entire process of a molecular assay, including extraction, detection, and amplification.
