October 2023—Now available from Maine Molecular Quality Controls is the Xpert BCR-ABL IS p210 Linearity Panel C207. It’s intended for use as an assayed external quality control to monitor the performance of the in vitro quantitative detection of BCR-ABL1 translocation mRNA e14a2/b3a2 transcripts and the ABL1 endogenous control mRNA transcript. It is designed to be used with the Xpert BCR-ABL Ultra assay on Cepheid GeneXpert instruments. Each kit comprises 12 bottles with two bottles of each international scale percent (%IS) value in 4 mL of synthetic BCR-ABL1 RNA transcript and synthetic ABL1 control gene RNA transcript suspended in a stabilizing matrix with a noninfectious solution of buffers and preservatives.
