AMPLIRUN® Enterococcus DNA Control, 100 µl

Vircell AMPLIRUN® Enterococcus DNA Controls provide purified, quantified DNA from Enterococcus faecalis (vanB) and Enterococcus faecium (vanA) for use as positive controls in nucleic acid amplification techniques. Each control contains the complete microbial genome, quantified at 10,000–20,000 copies/µL (qPCR-determined), and supplied in a lyophilized, non-infectious format.

These controls are specifically relevant to vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), making them invaluable for molecular research, diagnostic assay validation, and antimicrobial resistance studies.

Available Controls

Key Features

• Purified complete genome DNA – E. faecalis (vanB) and E. faecium (vanA).
• qPCR quantified – 10,000–20,000 copies/µL.
• Sequencing data available – supports primer and probe design.
• Lyophilized & non-infectious – stable for shipping and storage without dry ice.
• Convenient reconstitution – resuspend with 100 µL Molecular Biology Grade Water (provided).
• Universal compatibility – validated across PCR, qPCR, and other molecular platforms.

Applications

• Positive controls for Enterococcus PCR/qPCR assays.
• Validation of commercial and in-house diagnostic assays.
• Detection and quantification of vancomycin resistance genes (vanA/vanB).
• Absolute quantification through standard curve generation.
• Research into antimicrobial resistance, nosocomial infections, and VRE surveillance.

Product Details

The AMPLIRUN® Enterococcus DNA Controls provide safe, reproducible, and standardized positive controls for molecular assays detecting E. faecalis (vanB) and E. faecium (vanA). With quantified DNA, sequencing support, and stable lyophilized format, they are essential tools for molecular diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance studies, and validation of assays targeting VRE pathogens.
