The manufacturer announced the ViaComp Ultra XT family on 17 August 2026 and stated it was shipping.
The current Amine catalogue entry is SSB-35-B and explicitly states Research Use Only.
Its specifications describe liquid positive/negative particles stored at 2-8 C for amine-reactive dye and antibody controls.
Claims Requiring Caution
Performance, commutability and superiority remain manufacturer claims in these sources.
The launch names the Ultra XT family; do not assign unverified separate launch dates to variants.
A catalogue listing does not establish EU clinical authorisation or Spanish availability.
Why It Matters
Cell-like reference materials are relevant to compensation and spectral unmixing because reference quality propagates through downstream analysis.
CFCM explainer
Single-colour control → reference signal → compensation or unmixing → downstream gating.
