NIBSC produces a range of biological standards and reference materials for HIV diagnostic (serological) anti-HIV assays and Nucleic Acid Techniques (NAT).  As well as working standards, a number of International Standards and Reference Panels for HIV have been introduced.  These reagents can be used with diagnostic assays, for patient monitoring and for establishing blood safety.

NAT

• 2^nd International Standard for HIV-1 RNA

• 1^st International Standard for HIV-2 RNA

• HIV-1 RNA Working Reagent (PWS-1) for NAT assays   (CE marked material)

• HIV-1 RNA Working Reagent (PWS-2, high copy number) for NAT assays  (CE marked material)

• HIV-1 RNA Working Reagent (PWS-3, low copy number) for NAT assays

• HIV-1 RNA Genotype panel for NAT assays

Serology

• 1^st International Reference Panel for Anti-HIV

• 1^st International Standard for HIV-1 p24 Antigen

• British Working Standard for Anti-HIV-1  (CE marked material)

• 1 in 5 British Working Standard for Anti-HIV-1  (CE marked material)

• Monitor Sample for Anti-HIV-2  (CE marked material)

• Monitor Sample for Anti-HTLV-I  (CE marked material)
