Yes, the procedural control for the INSTI™ consists of a protein capable of capturing the IgG normally present in human blood components. IgG is present in blood components in both normal and HIV positive human specimens. Captured IgG reacts with a chromatic agent to produce a visual signal (spot) on the control membrane.
