NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION CONTROLS AND KITS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention provides components and methods for polymerase chain reaction assays. The assays minimize both handling of material and time spent running samples. For example, a single internal positive control (SPC) polynucleotide pair can provide a means to ensure proper nucleic acid purification for both RNA and DNA test targets. Additionally, standard cycling conditions for ali diagnostic tests allow the user to run both RNA and DNA targets side-by-side.
