TechTalk: Improve confidence in molecular testing with NATtrol™ quality controls
Friday, July 31 at 16:00 BST | 17:00 CEST | 11:00 EDT | 08:00 PDT
Quality controls play a critical role in ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and consistency of molecular diagnostic testing.
In this 20-min SelectScience® TechTalk, Dr. Jessica Van Allen, Technical Support Lead at ZeptoMetrix, will explore the importance of QC throughout the testing workflow and discuss how selecting the appropriate control can help laboratories meet quality, regulatory, and operational requirements.
Attendees will gain an understanding of ZeptoMetrix® NATtrol™ molecular quality controls, including their design, intended use, and benefits for infectious disease testing applications. Dr. Van Allen will also review key considerations for choosing the right control for specific workflows, assay platforms, and laboratory requirements.
Whether implementing a new assay or optimizing an existing testing process, participants will leave with practical guidance to help strengthen confidence in their test results.
