NATtrol™ Infectious Disease Molecular Controls for Quality Control Testing
The industry's preferred standard for molecular diagnostics testing, NATtrol™ (Nucleic Acid Testing Control) products can be used as independent (third-party) quality control materials. NATtrol™ molecular controls are isolated from the plasma of infected individuals or prepared from purified microorganisms grown in either cell culture or microbial culture.
Consistently utilizing ZeptoMetrix® molecular controls provides additional confidence in the quality and reliability of laboratory operations and helps monitor testing performance.
Molecular Controls for a World of Diseases
NATtrol™ products feature unparalleled quality and characterization, delivering the reproducibility, stability, and lot-to-lot consistency you expect from molecular controls. You can search by disease to find the ZeptoMetrix controls that suit your needs:

- Evaluate lot-to-lot consistency of assay reagents and test kits
- Monitor extraction and amplification steps
Robust, Reliable Molecular Controls That Fit Your Needs
Because our molecular controls are refrigerated and non-infectious, they simplify shipping, storage, and handling. ZeptoMetrix controls deliver improved reproducibility and lot-to-lot consistency compared to other products. They consistently meet the high demands required by regulations and best practices. You can also choose molecular control swabs for use in your lab. We make it easy to find the controls you need with the ability to filter products by category, classification, platform, and more.
NEW!NATMS2-STQ- MS2 Bacteriophage Stock (Quantitative) (1mL)
This product is intended for use as an internal process control for molecular diagnostic assays. Bacteriophage MS2 is a virus that infects Escherichia coli bacteria and other members of the Enterobacteria family. It has proven utility as an internal process control for rt-PCR assays. NATtrol inactivation of MS2 results in a refrigerator-stable, whole organism stock solution that shows increased lot-to-lot consistency and reproducibility over live MS2, making it an ideal internal control for rt-PCR assays.
Frequently Asked Questions About Molecular Controls
The global molecular controls market, valued at $200 million, can be confusing. But ZeptoMetrix is a trusted source of information about molecular controls.
What Are Your Products' Stability and Storage Requirements?
All our ZeptoMetrix NATtrol™ products are refrigerator stable (2℃ - 8℃). When stored properly, our molecular controls are stable through the expiration dates printed on each kit or vial.
Is the NATtrol™ Control/Panel infectious?
NATtrol™ molecular controls are non-infectious. When handling these products as suggested, good laboratory practices recommend using Universal Precautions.
How Do I Use Molecular Controls?
NATtrol™ molecular controls should be used as guided by diagnostic platform suppliers and/or per the information found in the product documentation.
Can I Quantitate Controls?
As listed in our product documentation, many of the NATtrol™ products are qualitative. Check the appropriate product documentation for External Run Controls and Linearity Panels that are quantitative.
