Vircell Stool Matrix Negative Control, 10 x 500 µL

The Vircell Stool Matrix Negative Control is a verified external negative control designed for nucleic acid amplification technique (NAT) assays. Formulated to mimic human stool specimens, it provides a non-infectious, pathogen-free reference matrix that tests negative for nucleic acids from a wide range of human pathogens.

This negative control supports full workflow validation—including nucleic acid extraction, amplification, and detection—ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and reproducibility of molecular diagnostic assays.

Available Control
