Gastrointestinal Infection Testing | Qnostics Molecular Controls
Gastroenteritis can be caused by a wide variety of viruses and is often associated with severe inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract involving both the stomach and small intestine. This results in acute diarrhoea and vomiting. Diagnosis is primarily based on clinical symptoms, but laboratory diagnosis is often needed in order to support patient care.
Qnostics’ Gastrointestinal Molecular Controls comprise a wide range of pathogen targets, including: Noroviru GI, Norovirus GII, Adenovirus Type41, Rotavirus, Astrovirus, Sapovirus, Camplyobacter jejuni, Campylobacter lari, Clostridium difficile 027, Shigella flexneri, Salmonella enteritidis, Yersinia enterolitica, Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium parvum, Entamoeba histolytica, Plesiomonas shigelloides, E.coli 0157, Shiga toxin-producing E.coli and Enterotoxigenic E.coli.
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.

Evaluation Panels
Evaluation panels are designed to assist laboratories with development of their molecular assays, establish the assay parameters of the molecular method and determine its fitness for purpose. The evaluation panels for blood-borne viruses contain a duplicate vial of one concentration which allows laboratories to asses reproducibility of their workflow for these targets.
