The Calypte® HIV-1 BED Incidence EIA Dried Blood Spot Controls are quality control reagents for use only with the Calypte® HIV-1 BED Incidence EIA test. The Dried Blood Spot (DBS) Controls should be used only as quality control reagents in place of the liquid controls and Calibrator only when dried serum, dried plasma, or dried whole blood spots are to be tested with the Calypte® HIV-1 BED Incidence EIA test.

If liquid serum or plasma specimens are to be tested, do not use DBS Controls. Instead, use the liquid serum controls that are provided within the Calypte® HIV-1 BED Incidence EIA test.
