Table comparing tissue, cell, and synthetic controls across 4 criteria. The first row shows images of representative controls. In the first column: a tissue with clusters of different cell types and immunostained in magenta. Second column: cell culture showing different cells immunostained in red. Third column: synthetic controls are beads. Remaining rows are comparing the three controls on the following criteria: availability of positive and negative controls; can be purchased; affordable; reliable. Tissue controls meet first 3 criteria but not lost. Cell line controls meet first 2 criteria only. Synthetic controls meet all 4 criteria.
