The POSITIVE CONTROL ΦX174 is a freeze-dried water-soluble biological material, containing a specified amount of ΦX174 phages.
Use this positive control to ensure a thorough quality control of your method to enumerate somatic coliphages (EN ISO 10705-2).
SAVE TIME: use ready-to-use biological material
MEET THE STANDARD 10705-2: analyse a positif control for each series of sample
SIMPLICITY: one step only, immediate dissolution
PRECISION: a consistent number of viruses in each batch
