Why choose us
Safe, Reliable, and Ready To Make
An Impact
Robust
Strict quality control ensures synthetic viral controls are synthesized with precision every time, producing a robust, reliable control for your studies.
Safety
Entirely synthetic controls avoid the health and safety hazards associated with live virus controls, supporting safer workflows.
Flexible
Pick the controls that are right for you by choosing between standard, assay-ready, or encapsuled formulations.
Compares
Flexible formats for your applications
Our Synthetic Controls are offered in three formats: Standard, Assay Ready, and Encapsulated for a range of molecular and diagnostic workflows. The Standard format provides high-concentration controls in a frozen liquid, while Assay Ready Controls are dried, single-use pellets that improve stability and allow ambient shipping with freezer storage. Encapsulated Controls further enhance stability by sealing a desiccated RNA pellet in a metal capsule, enabling room-temperature shipping and storage. Together, the Assay Ready and Encapsulated formats reduce cold-chain needs, lower shipping costs, and improve global accessibility.
