Here is what a visiting Quality Assurance Director had to say: "Everyone was very helpful, knowledgeable, and open with all of my requests. The facility is neat and orderly and designed to prevent cross-contamination of samples (e.g., segregation during various sample preparation steps for PCR amplification). The validation of the new technology was well planned and executed. All of the requirements that I like to see were performed:
- On site training of all personnel by the Tag-It Kit manufacturer
- Parallel testing with an independent laboratory
- Testing of samples that challenge the system (Corriel Samples)
- Testing of normals (in-house blood draws)
- Duplicate testing of samples for correlation
- Development of positive controls for future testing (select Corriel Samples)
- Establishment of Proficiency Testing
All study and validation data correlated nicely and demonstrated an accurate, robust assay with a well-defined method of data interpretation."
