Best practices for maintaining quality in molecular diagnostic testing

Molecular diagnostics has quickly become one of the leading global technologies for infectious disease testing. As such, clinicians and physicians rely on the results generated from these tests for accurate patient diagnoses. The field is constantly growing and evolving to meet the demands of infectious disease testing, but what remains constant is the importance for laboratories to maintain rigorous quality management practices, including quality control, to help ensure reliable test results

With multiple regulatory and accreditation bodies like ISO, CLIA, CAP, and CLSI weighing in on good laboratory and quality practices, it can be challenging to implement a quality management system for your laboratory. This webinar will elucidate the current landscape of considerations for implementing a quality system in laboratories running molecular diagnostic assays, including quality controls.

At the end of this webinar, you will be able to:

  • Describe the relevant regulatory and quality system management principles as they apply to laboratories running molecular diagnostic tests
  • Design appropriate quality control strategies for molecular/PCR-based testing methodologies
  • Identify tools to help implement effective quality management of molecular diagnostic tests
