FilmArray® GI Control Panel M238
The FilmArray® GI Control Panel M238 is intended for in vitro use as a quality control to monitor the detection and identification of multiple gastrointestinal pathogens as performed by the FilmArray® Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel assay on the FilmArray® instrument. Detection of the viruses, bacteria and protozoa listed in Table 1 is an important aid to the diagnosis of gastrointestinal illness.
FilmArray® GI Control Panel M238 is comprised of synthetic RNA suspended in a non-infectious solution of buffers, preservatives and stabilizers.Best practice is to establish a quality control program for every assay performed by the laboratory.1, 2 Routine use of quality controls that are consistent lot to lot assists the laboratory in identifying shifts, trends, and increased frequency of random errors caused by variations in the test system, such as failing reagents. Early investigation can prevent failed assay runs.
