VTM,Qap's and AntigensRapid tests are not as reliable as pcr test. Covid will become just another test like the influenza test that is used to determine the best course of action for a patient. Viral Transport Medium is not limited to covid only, there are many more tests that require VTM. Anytime a swab is taken for viral or bacterial reasons it needs to be placed in VTM to keep it protected from contamination and keep it stable on its way to the lab. Then there are the Qap's PTDx™: Distributed by verified EQA/Proficiency Program Providers.
PROCEEDx™: RUO products for use in test systems IQ/OQ/PQ, Verification/Validation and Training.
ONBOARDx™: All-encompassing Verification/Validation kit for instrument, kit or assay qualification and for use in internal processes and technician training.
REDx™ Controls: FDA listed and CE marked products designed for use as Quality Control Samples in a clinical setting. Available for use in Australia, Canada, Europe, USA and other jurisdictions.
All QAPs™ are manufactured from native pathogens or synthetic whole genome of pathogens to be virtually identical to patient samples
Then ther are the Antigens Microbix produces one of the world’s largest range of infectious disease antigens. These viral, bacterial and parasitic products are used in applications like Immunodiagnostic assays including: ELISA, chemiluminescent automated immunoassays, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, latex agglutination, rapid tests, and flow cytometry. They can also be used in controls for diagnostic assays, basic and applied research in virology, microbiology, cell biology, immunology, and pathology, or for vaccine and antiviral research and development.
