ZeptoMetrix Unveils PROtrol: Advanced Quality Control Material for the Lateral Flow Immunoassay Market

ZeptoMetrix® is thrilled to introduce PROtrol TM, an innovative product line specifically crafted for antigen-based diagnostic methods. These meticulously developed third-party materials replicate true clinical specimens, serving as invaluable tools to assess and monitor the performance of antigen-based assays, including lateral flow immunoassays used in the detection of infectious diseases.

Setting itself apart, PROtrol offers comprehensive testing data, making it the sole whole organism reference material to provide such detailed information. Each batch of the product is accompanied by the protein concentration and TCID50 value, significantly reducing the need for qualification testing. With improved reproducibility, PROtrol optimizes financial resources and processing time by minimizing the necessity for repeated testing.

Dr. Karuna Sharma, Vice President & Chief Scientific Officer, expressed, “The rapid growth in the development of antigen-based assays has highlighted various quality challenges. Inactivated, whole organism controls tailored explicitly for antigen tests can equip manufacturers with the necessary tools to thoroughly evaluate their assay’s performance, ultimately leading to higher quality tests available in the market.”

The inaugural member of this product line is PROtrol SARS-Related Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Isolate: USA-WA1/2020* (PROSARS(COV2)-587). As we transition beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, ZeptoMetrix remains committed to expanding the PROtrol product line, providing assay manufacturers with high-quality controls to enhance accessibility to cost-effective and user-friendly diagnostics.

Evangeline Gonzalez, President of the Antylia Diagnostics division, remarked, “The launch and expansion of PROtrol strengthen our position as the preferred partner for diagnostic test developers. As we collaborate with our diagnostic partners, ZeptoMetrix takes pride in the role PROtrol plays in granting patients worldwide greater access to diagnostic testing.”
