In a further development of the collaboration between QCMD and RNAssist, QCMD will use the universal biological sample stabilization virusPHIX-P9™ as the matrix within its forthcoming SARS-CoV-2 antigen EQA pilot scheme.
Studies have proven that virusPHIX-P9™ is both capable of inactivating SARS-CoV-2 as well as stabilizing clinical samples at ambient temperatures. Extensive testing at QCMD has shown that virusPHIX-P9™ is compatible with a variety of SARS-CoV-2 antigenic tests including a wide range of Lateral Flow tests (LFT).
