VetMAX Xeno Internal Positive Control

Actionable internal positive control helps monitor the presence of PCR inhibitors

VetMAX Xeno Internal Positivie Control (IPC) DNA and RNA are designed to serve as a reliable internal positive controls for DNA purification by helping detect PCR inhibitors and support the integrity of your molecular detection workflows.  Especially useful for challenging sample types like animal feces, these controls offer added confidence that your qPCR results are both accurate and actionable.

Benefits
Features
Confidence in results
  • Easily integrated into qPCR workflows
  • Helps provide confidence that qPCR test results are accurate and actionable
  • Helps reduce the likelihood of false negatives

Flexible formats available as individual IPCs and assays. Xeno IPCs provide labs with a flexible portfolio of solutions:

  • RNA or DNA IPCs
  • VIC and LIZ dye channel formats
  • High- and low-throughput kit options

Recommended by the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD) guidelines, the VetMAX Xeno IPC is a key component of our USDA-licensed VetMAX-Gold kits. The Xeno IPC assay has also been successfully benchmarked against millions of genomes, including those critical for animal health labs.

Poster: Xeno Internal Positive Control

The poster discusses the VetMAX Xeno IPC, highlighting its role in improving the accuracy and reliability of qPCR testing. It explains how the control functions as both an internal positive control for nucleic acid recovery and a positive control for qPCR, helping to detect PCR inhibitors and reduce false-negative results. The poster emphasizes the ease of integrating the VetMAX Xeno IPC into existing TaqMan-based workflows for both DNA and RNA testing. Additionally, it outlines the benefits of using this control, such as comprehensive quality control, consistent performance, and its applicability across various sample types and assays.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How does the VetMAX Xeno IPC work and what are the benefits of using it?

VetMAX Xeno Internal Positive Control (IPC) DNA and RNA are added during nucleic acid isolation and carried through the entire qPCR workflow. They help with monitoring for PCR inhibitors and confirming that DNA purification and amplification steps worked properly, which is especially important for inhibitor-rich samples like feces.

 

What are the storage conditions for VetMAX Xeno IPC?

VetMAX Xeno IPC DNA should be stored at -5°C to -30°C.

 

What are the components of VetMAX Xeno IPC?

The kit includes 1 x 1250 μL Nucleic Acid Dilution Solution and 1 x 250 μL Xeno DNA Control (10,000 copies/μL).

 

What workflows are VetMAX Xeno IPC compatible with?

The VetMAX Xeno IPC is easily integrated into most research and testing environments and can be used with Applied Biosystems workflow products as well as other commercial master mixes, sample prep kits, and lab-prepared assays.
