About the webinar

Molecular diagnostics has rapidly become one of the leading technologies for infectious disease testing around the world. These technologies allow for rapid detection, greater sensitivity, and more accurate diagnoses. For these reasons, it is imperative that laboratories administer a well-defined quality assessment of their tests to ensure the best possible patient outcomes. Implementation of full-process, external quality controls (QC) can assess the integrity of the entire test system to ensure the consistency of the produced and reported results by the molecular laboratory.

Whether you are using an In-Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) or laboratory developed test, you need a quality control that will provide consistent, correct results every time. ZeptoMetrix offers a wide range of QC materials that, when used on a regular basis, help monitor testing performance and provide additional confidence in the quality and reliability of molecular and clinical laboratory operations.

This webinar will help you to better understand QC for infectious disease testing. We will discuss the basic principles and practices of using QC materials in laboratories. From there, we will explore the types of molecular tests you might be using and delve into the benefits of using third-party quality controls. You will also get a glimpse into ZeptoMetrix NATtrol™ molecular quality control development and how the company is leading efforts on QC for SARS-CoV-2 testing.

What you will learn in this webinar

-The role QC materials play in laboratory testing

-The advantages of using third-party QC and the risks associated with a lack of QC

-How to get more confidence in your test results

-How to ensure consistency of SARS-CoV-2 test results
