Abstract
A buffered composition includes whole chlamydial or gonococcal organisms or an antigen thereof, and a nonionic fluorinated surfactant in an amount of at least about 0.05 weigh percent. This composition is useful in a positive control test used in diagnostic assays for chlamydial or gonococcal organisms. It is particularly useful when coated in an article used in such assays, such as disposable test devices having nonionic polyamide filtration membranes in the bottom of test wells.
