MDx-Chex® for Blood Culture GN (RUO)

MDx-Chex for Blood Culture GN (RUO) is a full-process molecular quality control designed for comprehensive validation of molecular assays that identify gram-negative bacteria in blood cultures. Each control contains intact, inactivated microorganisms suspended in a stabilized, blood-like matrix of red and white blood cells and blood culture media components to evaluate the entire molecular testing process, from extraction to detection.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.  We recommend that you verify that control target coverage is adequate for your sample-to-results system of choice.
