The Maxim Swift™ HIV Recent Infection Assay (RIA) Kit Controls are quality control reagents for use only with the Maxim Swift™ HIV Recent Infection Assay (RIA) (P/N 92002). They are used to verify that the test kit reagents are working and that the test is performed correctly. The Maxim Swift™ HIV RIA uses US CDC developed materials and is designed for surveillance purposes such as estimating HIV-1 incidence in a population, monitoring and evaluating HIV intervention programs, and recognizing those high-incidence populations so that prevention research, vaccine trials, and resources are most appropriately utilized. Controls should be stored at 4-8°C for long-term storage (12 months) or at -20°C (24 months). This product is for research use only and is not intended for use in diagnostic procedures.
