Products are for professional/laboratory use only.
LGC SeraCare offers a wide range of biological materials to help achieve consistent product quality. SeraCon and Basematrix products are formulated from human plasma and processed to resemble a serum like state. These products are well suited for use as a negative diluent for the production of controls and calibrators.
Normal Human Plasma
SeraCon and BaseMatrix are both derived from normal human plasma and are well suited for use as a negative diluent for the production of controls and calibrators.

SeraCon and Basematrix products are both formulated from human plasma and processed to resemble a serum like state, however the processing differs slightly based on intended use of the material. Refer to Table 1: Diluent Reference Guide for details. SeraCon is recommended for use in serological assays. It is also preferred when the intended application requires a matrix that is either free of lipids or hormones. BaseMatrix is recommended for use in molecular-based assays as a negative diluent for control and calibrator formulations.
