Central Nervous System Infections| Qnostics Molecular Controls
Infections of the Central Nervous System (CNS) can affect the brain and spinal cord and usually cause swelling of the target area. Consequences of CNS infection can become serious, however, with rapid and correct treatment most cases can be resolved. This further highlights the need for quality testing measures to be put in place.
Q Controls
Qnostics’ ‘Q’ Controls are positive run controls intended to help laboratories monitor their molecular diagnostic assay on a run-to-run basis within customer derived limits. These third-party independent external controls will ensure that assay drift is detected, monitored and managed allowing the laboratory to continue to provide accurate and reliable results. They also help support a laboratory’s regulatory requirements under the standard ISO 15189.
