The value of molecular controls for validation and routine monitoring in an accredited lab

Molecular controls play an integral part in diagnostic labs that are running molecular-based testing. These controls can be used during the validation and/or verification of any molecular assay being developed in the laboratory.

When running patient samples, control materials allow lab users to effectively monitor the performance of the entire analytical process. In this webinar, join Lora Bean, Senior Director of Quality Assurance at PerkinElmer Genomics, as she shares the best practices for labs currently using and looking to implement accreditation with proficiency schemes including College of American Pathologists (CAP) and International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO).

This webinar will explore:

What control steps are required to achieve CAP and ISO accreditation.

The different types of control materials available and choose controls that best suit your workflow.

How to identify suboptimal process points that could be impacting patient results.

Who should attend?

This webinar will interest those working within molecular diagnostic laboratories using NGS for patient diagnostics, as well as drug discovery research labs looking to assess treatment efficacy.
