Abstract
Control sera are an essential component of in-vitro clinical diagnostic reagents. We have developed a control serum for HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV and anti- Treponema pallidum testing. Since this control serum is prepared from human plasma, we paid special attention to viral safety. We incorporated three viral inactivation methods into the manufacturing process that maintain the necessary characteristics of a stable control serum.
