Description
*Target concentrations are listed for informational purposes only. Concentrations listed are representative of their final, combined format (if applicable, see the “Procedure” section). This product is unassayed and only carries target manufacturing values. Accepted ranges must be established by the laboratory for each specific molecular assay utilized with this product. **The vials intended to be combined together share the same barcode. Therefore, the combination can be done into either the “HIV-1/HIV-2 - LOD (HIV1)” vial or the “HIV-1/HIV-2 - LOD (HIV-2)” vial (see the “Procedure” section for specifics on use).
