ZeptoMetrix®, a pioneering force in the field of infectious disease diagnostics, is thrilled to introduce PROtrol TM, an innovative range of products specifically developed for antigen-based diagnostic techniques. These third-party materials serve as accurate clinical specimen surrogates and facilitate the evaluation and monitoring of the performance of antigen-based assays, including lateral flow immunoassays used in the detection of infectious diseases.
PROtrol stands out as the sole reference material incorporating whole organisms, providing comprehensive testing data. Each product lot is accompanied by the protein concentration and TCID50 value, significantly reducing qualification testing requirements. With enhanced reproducibility, PROtrol optimizes financial expenditures and processing time by minimizing the need for repetitive testing.
Dr. Karuna Sharma, Vice President & Chief Scientific Officer, remarked, “The rapid expansion of antigen-based assays has underscored certain quality challenges. Inactivated, whole organism controls purpose-built for antigen tests empower manufacturers with the necessary tools to thoroughly evaluate the performance of their assays, resulting in higher-quality tests available in the market.”
The inaugural product within this range is PROtrol SARS-Related Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Isolate: USA-WA1/2020* (PROSARS(COV2)-587). As we progress beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, ZeptoMetrix remains committed to expanding the PROtrol product line, providing assay manufacturers with top-tier controls that enable broader access to cost-effective and user-friendly diagnostics.
Evangeline Gonzalez, President of the Antylia Diagnostics division, stated, “The launch and expansion of PROtrol fortify our position as the preferred partner for diagnostic test developers. As we collaborate with our diagnostic partners, ZeptoMetrix takes pride in the integral role PROtrol plays in granting patients worldwide increased access to diagnostic testing.”
