Reason for Recall

individual components have been labelled with incorrect colours. The red and green colours are opposite to those specified in the product labelling. The EGR1 probe is labelled in green rather than red and the control probe labelled in red rather than green. The expected positive signal pattern in the case of 1x deleted 5q will be 1G2R instead of 1R2G, an incorrect result
