Product Description
SHENTEK® BAV-3 Positive Control is a ready-to-use positive control intended for use with SHENTEK® Virus DNA & RNA Extraction and Detection Kits. It is designed to monitor the entire process of BAV-3 DNA extraction and PCR detection assays. The product is supplied as an inactivated replication-defective pseudovirus, providing a safe surrogate for process control. Supplied as pre-aliquoted tubes, the control requires thawing, vortexing and brief centrifugation prior to use and can be used directly without dilution. This product is intended for research use only (RUO) and is not for clinical diagnosis or treatment.

* Total: 3 tubes (100 μL each) — positive control, not measured in assay reaction count | Method: PCR
Attention
• Thaw one tube completely at 2–8 °C or on ice, then vortex thoroughly and centrifuge briefly.
• Follow the Positive Control Sample (PCS) preparation steps in the SHENTEK® BAV-3 Detection Kit or SHENTEK® Bovine Virus Detection Kit user guide.
• Product is ready for direct use without dilution.
• Equilibrate to room temperature before use and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
• Do not mix reagents or controls from different batches.
• For research use only — not for clinical diagnosis or treatment.
• Although inactivated and replication-defective, operate in a biosafety cabinet; sterilize experimental waste via autoclaving and dispose per medical waste regulations.
