Laboratory Contamination with Molecular Diagnostics

This 1-hr virtual seminar will teach the key issues behind laboratory contamination in molecular diagnostics

Molecular diagnostics is a powerful tool for analyzing patient samples in the clinical laboratory. It can pick up very small amounts of nucleic acids that may be relevant to disease states. However, that sensitivity is a double edged sword. Everything from poor process design to improper sample handing to even a poor environment can contaminate samples. This can lead to major concerns in the molecular diagnostic laboratory, resulting in poor quality data and challenges providing healthcare providers with the information they need.

This webinar will help you deal with the various challenges in molecular diagnostics. Poor sampling and environmental controls will be address. Process design will allow be explained as a key contributor to laboratory contamination. Finally, we will get into various equipment issues, and how they can lead to poor sample results. By the end of this webinar, your laboratory will have the quality it needs to maintain to serve patients.

• What changes to look out for?
• Equipment challenges with sample contamination
• Environmental challenges with sample contamination
• Pre-analytical sample contamination
• Post-analytical contamination
• Process management to mitigate contamination

This will benefit a wide array of professionals such as:

• Quality control
• Assay Development
• Assay validation
• Research and Development
• Clinical Diagnostics
