Molecular Diagnostics Development

Authenticated controls that support each stage of your diagnostic development process


Molecular diagnostic assays are powerful tools for the rapid detection and identification of clinically relevant pathogens. That's why it is essential that they are properly validated to ensure accurate results and uncompromised data.

As your end-to-end partner for the development and control of diagnostic assays, ATCC supports each stage of your workflow by providing authenticated live strains, quantitative molecular standards, and next-generation sequencing standards. Explore our resources below to see how we can collaborate on your next assay.

SARS-CoV-2 molecular diagnostics development

For SARS-CoV-2 molecular diagnostics manufacturers moving from emergency use authorization (EUA) to 510(k) premarket submission to the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), robust testing must be performed to demonstrate that the device is safe and effective as well as substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices. To support these validation studies, ATCC provides an extensive array of authenticated and clinically relevant strains and genomic and synthetic nucleic acids for evaluating limit of detection, inclusivity, and cross-reactivity.

Monkeypox virus

Monkeypox virus molecular diagnostics development

Accurate and rapid diagnosis of mpox is critical for timely healthcare and tracking of transmission. To support the need for increased monitoring, ATCC provides a variety of orthopoxviruses and nucleic acids that support assay development and validation. We have also developed a research use only (RUO) quantitative synthetic monkeypox virus DNA preparation with a sequence design based on several published assays.
