Armored RNA Quant^® Internal Process Control^*

Armored RNA^® technology stabilizes and protects nucleic acids from nuclease degradation by packaging them in a protective protein coat. Armored Controls have been utilized in IVD-cleared assays for more than 20 years and continue to serve as an important tool in the rapidly evolving space of molecular diagnostics. For methods ranging from qPCR to NGS there is now a convenient and inexpensive way to monitor the performance of your assay with the Armored RNA Quant^® Internal Process Control.

• Used as an onboard process control to monitor extraction through detection.
• Non-specific, 1,000 nucleotide IVT RNA (alien/nonhomologous) sequence.
• Encapsulated in a coat of protein dimer armor which renders it resistant to degradation.
• Used as a spike-in to sample (e.g., urine, blood, CSF, plasma/liquid biopsy) to monitor the overall efficiency of your process.
