June 2016—SeraCare Life Sciences launched its AccuPlex Zika Reference Material aimed to provide a safe, nonreplicative, and fully extractable positive material that covers the entire Zika virus genome.

SeraCare’s Zika reference material contains the RNA genome of the ZIKV 2007 strain in four separate overlapping virus constructs. The product is formulated at ~1.0E+05 copies/mL in 0.25 mL of defibrinated human plasma; the copy number is assigned based on results from a digital PCR assay developed in-house. As a recombinant virus product, the reference material uses a mammalian RNA virus that closely mimics the Zika virus in size and complexity. Ongoing accelerated and real-time stability studies indicate that AccuPlex recombinant viruses are stable at room temperature for at least 20 months and at 4ºC for at least two years.
