Validation Kits
Product Description
Clinical laboratories often develop molecular diagnostic assays utilizing in-house (homebrew) components or analyte specific reagents (ASRs) provided by external manufacturers. However, before a new test can be introduced into routine use, both analytical and clinical performance must be verified under normal laboratory conditions. This document, used in conjunction with the other elements of the AcroMetrix Assay Validation Kit, is intended to be part of a systematic approach for the verification of homebrew or ASR assays and helps laboratories meet internal quality assurance standards as well as external CLIA and certification requirements. This product is for research use only
