INTERNAL CONTROL NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULE FOR NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

The invention provides an internal control nucleic acid molecule including at least one forward primer binding site, at least one reverse primer binding site, and at least one amplifiable region, wherein the forward primer binding site, the reverse primer binding site, and the amplifiable region are all randomly generated. The invention also provides a kit that includes at least one internal control nucleic acid molecule of the invention, at least one forward primer, configured to be complementary to the forward primer binding site of the internal control nucleic acid molecule, and at least one reverse primer, configured to be complementary to the reverse primer binding site of the internal control nucleic acid molecule. The invention also provides methods of using the internal control nucleic acid molecules and kits of the invention.
