We've been running it in parallel with our traditional serology tests for a short time - approx 100 samples. Works well. Just had a single B7 cross-reaction which the Ab/software resolved clearly. We don't get that many positive B27s here in Singapore and we'll not be able to put in a positive patient control with our test runs. So far we've depended on BD's supplied positive control.
