Description
The Acucy Influenza A&B Control Kit provides swabs coated with dried, inactivated influenza A or B virus. The level of influenza A or B antigen applied to the swab is sufficient to provide a positive result when used with the Acucy Influenza A&B Test. The Influenza A control swab acts as a negative control for the influenza B antigen and conversely, the Influenza B control swab serves as a negative control for influenza A antigen. When used for external quality control in the Acucy Influenza A&B Test, these controls are useful as an aid in verifying test and operator performance.
