MDx-Chex for RP is a full-process molecular quality control designed to support research, development, optimization, verification and analytical performance assessment of laboratory high-plex assays targeting respiratory infections. Each control contains intact, inactivated microorganisms suspended in a stabilized, patient-like matrix of cells 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-result system of choice.
Patient-like matrix of inactivated microorganisms and human cells
Compatible with bioMerieux respiratory panels* *For research applications
Can be stored at room temperature
Verifies the entire workflow, from lysis to detection
Single-use vials reduce pre-analytical variables such as pipetting errors and cross-contamination
Simplified workflow – simply mix and pipette in like a patient sample, scan and run

MDx-Chex for RP is a full-process molecular quality control designed to support research, development, optimization, verification and analytical performance assessment of laboratory high-plex assays targeting respiratory infections. Each control contains intact, inactivated microorganisms suspended in a stabilized, patient-like matrix of blood cells and epithelial cells to evaluate the entire molecular testing process, from extraction to detection.
MDx-Chex for RP has comprehensive coverage of significant respiratory pathogens commonly tested in high-plex molecular assays. We recommend that you verify that control target coverage is adequate for your sample-to-result system of choice.
MDx-Chex for RP contains a patient-like matrix of inactivated microorganisms, blood cells and epithelial cells that mimics actual respiratory specimens. This composition challenges the entire molecular testing workflow including sample preparation, lysis, nucleic acid extraction and detection, ensuring that quality control evaluates the complete procedure as it would be performed on real patient samples rather than only testing the detection step.
Yes, MDx-Chex for RP can be stored at room temperature. This room temperature stability eliminates the need for freezer storage, prevents freeze-thaw cycles that can damage nucleic acids and organism integrity and simplifies logistics for research laboratories conducting validation studies or assay development work.
Single-use vials reduce pre-analytical variables such as pipetting errors and cross-contamination that can occur with multi-use controls. Each vial provides a fresh, uncontaminated sample that ensures consistent quality control performance and eliminates concerns about contamination between uses or degradation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which is particularly important when validating assays for multiple respiratory pathogens.
MDx-Chex for RP offers a simplified workflow: simply mix the vial contents, pipette the control like a patient sample, scan the barcode if applicable and run the assay. This ease of use makes the control practical for frequent testing during assay development, optimization and verification studies without adding complexity to laboratory workflows.
