How is the internal control (IC) PCR system designed?

The IC is a heterologous amplification system with a unique set of primers and probes. Other competitive products frequently utilize a homologous IC system with identical primer binding sites which may lead to primer binding competition and may, in consequence, negatively affect the detection sensitivity.

With artus® kits such primer binding competition can be excluded since the amplified sequences differ.
