ZeptoMetrix® NATtrol™ Molecular Controls and Panels are designed to support accurate and reliable molecular testing for women’s health and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). As the most trusted third-party QC brand, NATtrol controls help laboratories monitor assay performance and maintain confidence in test results across routine and high-volume testing workflows.
Formulated with non-infectious whole microorganisms in a proprietary matrix, these ready-to-use refrigerated controls monitor critical extraction and amplification steps. Available as single-analyte controls or multi-analyte panels, they are ideal for routine quality assurance, personnel training, and evaluation of lot-to-lot reagent consistency.
NATtrol™ women’s health and STI controls and panels cover a broad range of clinically relevant targets, including bacterial vaginosis (BV), Candida, Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Group B Streptococcus, Mycoplasma genitalium, HSV, HPV, and more. Demonstrated performance on leading molecular platforms such as Cepheid® GeneXpert®, Hologic® Panther Fusion®, BD MAX™, BioFire® FilmArray®, binx® io, and more, these controls offer flexibility and confidence across demanding testing environments.
TechTalk: Improve confidence in molecular testing with NATtrol™ quality controls
Friday, July 31 at 16:00 BST | 17:00 CEST | 11:00 EDT | 08:00 PDT
Quality controls play a critical role in ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and consistency of molecular diagnostic testing.
In this 20-min SelectScience® TechTalk, Dr. Jessica Van Allen, Technical Support Lead at ZeptoMetrix, will explore the importance of QC throughout the testing workflow and discuss how selecting the appropriate control can help laboratories meet quality, regulatory, and operational requirements.
Attendees will gain an understanding of ZeptoMetrix® NATtrol™ molecular quality controls, including their design, intended use, and benefits for infectious disease testing applications. Dr. Van Allen will also review key considerations for choosing the right control for specific workflows, assay platforms, and laboratory requirements.
Whether implementing a new assay or optimizing an existing testing process, participants will leave with practical guidance to help strengthen confidence in their test results.
