Microbix Collaborator Introduces New Lab Accreditation Program - Seite 2

Microbix developed its Mgen QAPs to resemble patient specimens, support the whole testing process, and contain all possible MDx test targets – buffered and desiccated onto a Copan FLOQSwab to ensure multi-year product stability at room temperature. The pilot EQA program confirmed the performance of these QAPs across all clinical labs, instrument platforms, and assays. These Mgen QAPs are now available from Microbix as part of its PROCEEDxFLOQ (RUO) or REDxFLOQ (IVD) catalogue of products.

Enquiries regarding the EQA program being developed by Labquality to qualify and support clinical laboratories in molecular testing for Mgen and AMR Mgen should be directed to Ms. Kati Luiro, EQA Coordinator, at [e-mail], [e-mail], or via its website www.labquality.com. Purchase enquiries for these or other Microbix QAPs can be e-mailed to [e-mail].
