Sample Adequacy Control (SAC) has critical analytical, clinical and epidemiological value that increases confidence in a negative test result. The SAC is an integral qPCR assay control, which ensures that all pre-analytical and analytical steps are adequate for accurate testing and reporting. As such, a negative SAC with a negative result on pathogen screen specifies that the result should be reported as inconclusive instead of negative. Despite this, many regulatory approved tests do not incorporate SAC into their assay design. Herein, we emphasize the universal value of SAC and offer for the first time, a simple technical strategy to introduce non-competitive SAC which does not interfere with the limit of detection for the screened pathogen. Integration of SAC can provide key benefits towards identifying, isolating, quarantining and contact tracing infected individuals and in turn can improve worldwide efforts in infection control.
