Thermo Scientific™ PathoDx™ Respiratory Virus Panel Control Slide

Description

Use Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ PathoDx™ Respiratory Virus Panel Control Slide along with PathoDx Respiratory Virus Panel (RVP) kit while performing direct immunofluorescence tests. Viral respiratory diseases in children and adults cause significant morbidity and mortality, especially in young children and older adults. Respiratory specimens (nasopharyngeal aspirates or swabs) are tested for the presence of viral antigen. Culture isolation/confirmation is the standard method for most clinical virology laboratories.

The Negative Control Reagent contains fluorescein-labeled murine antibodies which do not react with the viral agents.

• Ready to use - Prepared reagents
• Easy to store - Store at 2-8°C

Negative Control Reagent (Red Cap) is one dropper bottle containing 10.0 mL of fluorescein-labeled purified murine IgG antibodies that are non-reactive with any respiratory virus, and Evans blue counterstain in a protein-stabilized buffer solution, with 0.098% sodium azide as preservative.
