ZeptoMetrix

Millions of people are tested for infectious diseases every year. As you know, reporting an inaccurate test result can have devastating consequences for a patient. To increase confidence in reported results, multiple regulatory and accreditation bodies, including ISO, CLIA, CLSI and CAP recommend the consistent use of 3^rd party controls.

As the most trusted brand in third-party quality controls, ZeptoMetrix is partnering with Bio-Connect, to help your laboratory consistently deliver accurate results. ZeptoMetrix manufactures an extensive range of quality controls and verification panels that are preferred by hospitals, clinics, and research organisations around the world for use with Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT), serological, and antigen-based assays. Products treated with ZeptoMetrix patented NATtrol™ process represent the industry-leading choices for NAT – the benchmark for external quality controls and verification materials for the diagnostic testing industry.

NATtrol controls are made with highly-purified microorganisms that have been processed to alter surface proteins and stabilised in an optimal state for research and testing. With intact nucleic acids, these products are non-infectious, refrigerator stable, and work with a wide variety of PCR-based assay systems.

Today, ZeptoMetrix is a renowned contributor in the global infectious disease diagnostics industry, recognised for developing and manufacturing a growing portfolio of reagents and kits. We also stock highly characterised seroconversion panels, for HIV, HBV, HCV, and Zika, using multiple samples collected from infected individuals across the course of their infection to capture markers that present at different stages of disease progression.

ZeptoMetrix corporate headquarters, R&D, quality, and technical operations teams are in Buffalo, New York, with the primary manufacturing, assembly/packaging, distribution, and customer service teams working out of our FDA-registered facility, located in Franklin, Massachusetts.
