The company’s pioneering initiative simplifies the evaluation of analytical routines for the identification of arboviruses.
The emergence of new diseases caused by arboviruses, along with others already in circulation, has posed significant challenges to the diagnostic sector. Implementing and monitoring analytical processes for each arbovirus involve multiple validations and tests.
To streamline these routines, In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) manufacturers are offering multiplex kits that enhance the simultaneous detection and differentiation of multiple viruses from a single sample.
This approach enables faster diagnoses, and, like independent analyses, it is crucial that routines involving multiple identifications are evaluated to ensure the reliability of the results.
Attentive to the needs of the sector, Controllab innovates with the Proficiency Testing (PT) for Molecular Panel of Arboviruses, simplifying the evaluation of these analytical routines.
How does the Proficiency Test for Molecular Panel of Arboviruses work?
In this Proficiency Test, lyophilized items prepared from a viral isolate containing the complete genome or clinical samples are sent to participants. This ensures a detailed evaluation of the effectiveness of the methods used for virus identification.
The quarterly frequency of the program allows participants to periodically monitor positive and negative items. The program covers the analysis of Chikungunya, Dengue, Yellow Fever, Mayaro, and Zika Virus, using materials that simulate both isolated infections and coinfections.
If your laboratory conducts molecular tests for arboviruses individually, Controllab offers customized programs for each arbovirus:
| Programas | Ensaios disponíveis |
| Painel Molecular para Arboviroses | Detecção por Biologia Molecular voltado para sistemas do tipo multiplex para Chikungunya; Dengue; Febre Amarela; Zika Vírus e Mayaro |
| Biologia Molecular - Chikungunya | Chikungunya – Biologia Molecular |
| Biologia Molecular – Dengue | Dengue – Biologia Molecular e Genotipagem |
| Biologia Molecular – Febre Amarela | Detecção de Febre Amarela por Biologia Molecular |
| Biologia Molecular – Mayaro | Detecção de Mayaro por Biologia Molecular |
| Biologia Molecular – Zika Vírus | Detecção de Zika Vírus por Biologia Molecular |
| Sequenciamento: Detecção do Genoma Viral | Identificação de patógenos virais por sequenciamento |
Important!
Expanding its focus on arboviruses, Controllab, in another pioneering initiative, will conduct the first round of the Proficiency Testing for Molecular Biology – Oropouche Fever on September 9th. To participate, express your interest through this link by the end of August.
