GBD has been supplying high quality control samples for decades

The focus of our work is on the production of control samples for virus immunology and virus genome detection, with which we make a significant contribution to improving the quality and standardization of laboratory diagnostics. To this end, we develop validation, sensitivity and specificity panels for our customers, as well as panels for genotyping/subtyping and resistance determination of infectious pathogens.

GBD-MolQC West Nile Virus Quant 1 (tested by dPCR)

GBD has added the product GBD-MolQC WNV Quant 1 to its portfolio to support laboratories performing or introducing West Nile virus genome detection. GBD-MolQC WNV Quant 1 consists of two tubes: one containing West Nile virus lineage 1 and one containing West Nile virus lineage 2.

Both materials were tested by GBD using digital PCR and labelled with the following virus concentrations:

119,000 ± 6,000 copies/ml (95% confidence interval, n=30) for WNV-1 and 111,000 ± 7,000 copies/ml (95% confidence interval, n=30) for WNV-2.

Corresponding data in IU/ml can also be provided on request.

Laboratory

We test, produce and analyse in the laboratory on a daily basis. Care is paramount in the production of the various quality control samples for infection diagnostics. In the laboratory, we produce reference materials and quality control samples for laboratory diagnostics on a daily basis. This is where our value creation takes place with a wide range of expertise.

Development & evaluation

All data relating to our products is collected, processed and analyzed – and flows into the development of new products. In this way, we create added value for our customers and for future products and processes – and safeguard our quality promise.

Administration

It acts as an interface and supports everyone else in the planning and organisation of work. Targeted communication and the continuous optimization of structures and processes make all relevant information more accessible and transparent.

COMPLEXITY AS A FEATURE

The complex production process of our samples, which undergo various internal and external test stages, guarantees the highest level of quality.

We co-operate closely with scientific and other partners in an international network. This allows us to expand our expertise and ensure that we are always at the cutting edge of science, research and market requirements.
