Drug Resistance | Qnostics Molecular Controls
Drug resistance – or antibiotic resistance – occurs when the germs no longer respond to the antibiotics that have been designed to kill them. If these germs develop resistance to antibiotics they become “drug-resistant”, for example vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
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.
