Inactivated Virus Nucleic Acid Reference Products

Reference materials (RMs) refer to homogeneous stable materials with specific properties, and the importance of RM has been emphasized with the widespread application of molecular diagnostics in the diagnosis of infectious diseases worldwide. Pathogen-specific RM is needed to accurately quantify their genetic material by setting reliable values to compare and evaluate the performance of diagnostic kits and to compensate for human error in the process.

Inactivated viruses are created by growing a virus in a cell culture, and then treating it with a chemical or physical agent to destroy its infectivity. Inactivated viruses are often used as virus nucleic acid references because they provide a safe and stable way to study viral genomes without the risk of causing an infection. The virus nucleic acid reference is a standardized product containing known quantities of viral nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) used in molecular biology and diagnostic research. These references are crucial for: 1) Calibrating Assays: ensuring the accuracy and sensitivity of diagnostic tests like PCR and sequencing. 2) Calibrating Assays: ensuring the accuracy and sensitivity of diagnostic tests like PCR and sequencing. 3) Research: studying viral genetics, replication, and interactions with host cells.

Inactivated viruses closely mimic clinical samples, making them ideal for quality control throughout the viral nucleic acid detection process, including viral cleavage and nucleic acid extraction. Creative Biolabs has developed virus quality controls. Our quality controls can be customized to a variety of formats, specifications, and virus types, specifically for your tests.
