All methods and reagents are validated, standardized, and controlled by in-laboratory studies and proficiency testing using reference banks of characterized specimens. Quantitation is available by arrangement. Test results are reviewed by laboratory personnel. Custom testing including immunological and virological assays, training, and consultation are available; please inquire. In addition, SIV virus stocks, reagents and controls are available through Resource Services.
