BPX™ Bacillus atrophaeus Extraction Control is designed to support reliable and consistent molecular workflows. Each kit contains liquid or lyophilized Bacillus atrophaeus, intended for use as a robust process control to monitor the efficiency of cell lysis and nucleic acid recovery during extraction procedures.
Bacillus atrophaeus possesses a thick peptidoglycan cell wall, making it inherently resistant to lysis. This characteristic, combined with its non-pathogenic nature and lack of human host association, makes it an ideal control organism for evaluating nucleic acid extraction performance.
BPX™ Bacillus atrophaeus Extraction Control provides streamlined, single-step quality control across the entire molecular workflow—from extraction to real-time PCR. It helps ensure assay integrity, reduce false negatives, and maintain high testing accuracy.
