Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Mass, has released the Thermo Scientific MAS Omni Infectious Disease quality control sets for monitoring serological assays for analytes such as human immunodeficiency virus 1 and 2, hepatitis B and C viruses, syphilis, and Human T-lymphotropic virus types I and II. The Thermo Scientific MAS Omni Infectious positive and negative quality controls are third-party, independent external controls used to assess the performance of serological assays for infectious diseases. As with all Thermo Scientific MAS Quality Controls users can efficiently monitor assay performance, streamline operations, and potentially reduce your spending without sacrificing quality or throughput.
“We are expanding our quality control offering into a space which continues to increase each year as new pharma drugs are developed and enabling better identification and treatment for infectious diseases. Our team is committed to providing innovative solutions to support our customers productivity,” says Fernando Beils, vice president and general manager of Thermo Fisher’s niche diagnostics business. “The Thermo Scientific MAS Omni Infectious Controls are the first in a line of products we are continuing to develop to support the monitoring of in vitro diagnostic tests.” The Thermo Scientific MAS Omni Infectious Controls are available in the United States and Japan as IVD products and are intended for clinical use.
