Product Description: Inactivated Microbial Cell Pellet (IMCP)

 The Inactivated Microbial Cell Pellet (IMCP) is a non-viable, whole organism, external positive control material specifically designed for evaluating the performance of nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) procedures. This control is ideal for NAAT assay development, and performance monitoring, including extraction, amplification, and detection phases. Regular use of IMCP quality controls can minimizing test variability, assessing lot-to-lot consistency of test kits, evaluating operator performance, and identifying both random and systemic errors.

Key Features:

 Whole Organisms Control: IMCPs contents entire organism genome.

Comprehensive: Designed to monitor extraction, amplification, and detection processes in NAAT procedures.

 Non-Viable and Safe: Analytes are chemically inactivated to ensure safety while maintaining assay performance characteristics.

 Matrix-Free Flexibility: Ready-to-use pellets can be rehydrated in any sample matrix compatible with downstream processing.

 Enhanced Quality Assurance: Regular use helps in minimizing test variation, ensuring consistent lot-to-lot performance, and improving operator reliability.

 Advanced Characterization: Organisms are isolated and characterized by microbiological and molecular methods, including 16S rDNA gene sequencing.

 Freeze-Dried for Stability: The freeze-dried format ensures long-term stability and ease of storage.

 The IMCP provides a robust solution for laboratories seeking reliable and consistent performance evaluation in molecular assays. For more information, please refer to the Certificate of Analysis (COA).
