Why oligo optimization and validation is key for your assay’s lifetime performance

Thursday, September 25, at 16:00 BST | 17:00 CEST | 11:00 EDT | 8:00 PDT

Before a newly designed assay can be used routinely, it must undergo thorough optimization and validation to ensure reliable, reproducible results. In this webinar, we will share both conceptual and technical best practices to help you fine-tune your assay during this critical stage of its development lifecycle.

You’ll learn how to mitigate performance variation caused by differences across batches of master mix or oligos, establish robust optimization and validation protocols, and ensure your assay consistently delivers high-quality data. We’ll also cover strategies tailored for multiplex assays, so you can maximize performance from your very first reagent lot through to future batches.

Key learning objectives:

  • Understand why optimizing and validating new oligo content will help you get the most from your oligos, from your first reagent lot through to future lots
  • Learn about the performance risks associated with lot-to-lot variation of reagents and how to minimize them
  • How to adapt the optimization and validation best practices for multiplex assays
