Molecular diagnostics has rapidly emerged as a leading global technology for infectious disease testing. Consequently, clinicians depend on the results from these tests for accurate patient diagnosis. The field continues to expand and adapt to the growing needs of infectious disease testing, yet the critical importance of rigorous quality management practices in laboratories, including quality control, remains unchanged to ensure reliable results.
With increasing laboratory regulations, providing guidelines for laboratory quality practices, implementing a quality management system can be complex. This webinar will clarify the key considerations for establishing a quality system in laboratories performing molecular diagnostic assays, with a focus on quality controls.
