Species-specific positive probes and negative control probes are required to run with human or mouse control slides for the technical quality control check and with your sample for Sample or RNA quality control check. ACD provides the positive control probes that target species-specific housekeeping genes and negative control probes that target the bacteria DapB gene.
Careful selection of the right positive control is strongly recommended. The expected expression level of your target RNA is the key criteria consider as your positive control probe should have similar expression profile. See the overview page for details.
