AMPLIRUN® Herpes Simplex DNA Control, 100 µl

The AMPLIRUN® Herpes Simplex DNA Controls are standardized and highly reliable reference materials designed to guarantee the accuracy and reproducibility of nucleic acid amplification assays. Each control contains the purified complete genome of Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2), making them ideal for assay validation, quality control, and performance verification across diverse molecular platforms.

Produced by Vircell Microbiologists, these controls are widely trusted in diagnostic laboratories, academic institutions, and research centers, offering a safe and stable alternative to clinical samples.

 Sequencing data available to assist in probe and primer design:

• HSV-1
• HSV-2

Key Features

• Purified complete genome DNA – enabling amplification of any target sequence.
• Quantified concentration: 10,000–20,000 copies/µL determined by qPCR.
• Universal compatibility with all molecular amplification technologies (PCR, qPCR, RT-PCR, sequencing, etc.).
• Non-infectious and safe for laboratory use.
• Lyophilized presentation – ensures long-term stability at room temperature.
• Reconstitution made simple – includes 100 µL of DNase/RNase-free Molecular Biology Grade Water.
• Sequencing data available to support primer and probe design.
• CE-IVDR certified (CE0123) – compliant with EU in vitro diagnostic regulations.

Applications

• Validation of commercial and in-house HSV molecular assays (sensitivity, specificity, LoD, reproducibility).
• Routine quality control for molecular diagnostic workflows.
• Standard curve generation for absolute DNA quantification.
• Objective interpretation of molecular test results.
• Staff training and assay development in HSV molecular diagnostics.

Product Variants

Advantages Over Clinical Samples

• Stable, reproducible, and free of variability.
• Eliminates infection risk – non-infectious DNA only.
• Cost-efficient shipping – no cold chain or dry ice required.
• Ready-to-use after reconstitution, ensuring workflow efficiency.

Ordering Information

• Format: Single lyophilized vial + 100 µL Molecular Biology Grade Water.
• Storage: Stable at room temperature prior to reconstitution. Store reconstituted material at –20 °C.
• Classification: For Research Use Only (RUO) – not intended for direct patient diagnosis.

The AMPLIRUN® Herpes Simplex DNA Controls provide laboratories with a robust and standardized solution for validating, monitoring, and optimizing molecular assays targeting HSV-1 and HSV-2. Their quantified, non-infectious design, combined with long-term stability and CE-IVDR certification, ensures that molecular testing workflows are accurate, reproducible, and efficient. Trusted worldwide, these controls are a gold standard for laboratories seeking confidence in their HSV molecular diagnostics.
