qPCR Extraction Control not only enables users of a diagnostic qPCR assay to determine if there are inhibitors in the PCR assay, but also to validate the success of the extraction step, reducing the chance of obtaining a false negative result in the sample DNA.

• Simple - streamlined protocol for straightforward validation of DNA extraction and determination of qPCR assay inhibition
• Sensitive - control assay identifies even small effects on DNA extraction and inhibition of amplification
• Optimised - control DNA has a sequence with no known homology to any organism thereby avoiding detection of sample DNA
• Specific - probe-based assay designed specifically for real-time PCR assays
• Flexible - ideal for use with a wide range of sample types, including inhibitor-rich samples like blood, urine and sputum samples
