Inbuilt Controls used in TrueNAT 

Truenat tests use Internal Quality Control to assess test validity using Internal Positive Control (IPC).

• The cartridge contains pre-loaded IPC.
• IPC is part of the full process control.
• IPC undergoes all processing steps along with specimen from extraction to amplification.
• IPC assesses the validity of the test run from sample processing to result and is illustrated in following figures (Figure 1(A) and Figure 1(B)).
