Positive control for Zika virus, Dengue virus (all 4 serotypes), and Chikungunya virus detection assays
The Applied Biosystems™ TaqMan™ Arbovirus Triplex Control Kit is a high-quality positive control designed to support accurate and reliable performance verification of real-time PCR assays targeting three major arboviruses: Zika virus (Asian lineage), Dengue virus serotypes 1–4, and Chikungunya virus.
This control contains human DNA (1X) and pooled complete genome RNA templates of the target viruses, ensuring that assay performance can be monitored for specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility. It is specifically designed for use with the TaqMan™ Arbovirus Triplex Kits (Cat. Nos. A31746 and A31747).
Key Features & Benefits
- Comprehensive Viral Control – Covers three major arboviruses, including all four serotypes of Dengue virus.
- Complete Genome RNA – Ensures robust control of RNA-based real-time PCR detection workflows.
- Optimized for TaqMan Triplex Kits – Provides compatibility with Applied Biosystems™ TaqMan™ ZIKV/DENV/CHIKV assays.
- Reliable Quality – Includes human DNA for control of sample extraction and assay setup integrity.
- Stable and Convenient – 2-year shelf life; ships at room temperature for easy storage and handling.
Applications
- Positive control for triplex RT-PCR detection of ZIKV, DENV1–4, and CHIKV
- Verification of assay performance and instrument calibration
- Research on arbovirus diagnostics and molecular epidemiology
- Training and validation for diagnostic laboratory personnel
