Optimizing Diagnostic Testing with Quality Controls and Temperature Monitoring

Reduce Errors and Protect Samples

Molecular diagnostics are an integral tool in the detection of infectious diseases. Despite dramatic advances in laboratory technology, many patients continue to receive inaccurate, incomplete, or delayed diagnoses. Clinical laboratories performing infectious disease testing are challenged to improve test performance and patient-sample temperature monitoring to decrease testing errors and enhance diagnostic speed and accuracy.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how quality controls offer a productive method for identifying, evaluating, and correcting testing flaws due to system failure, environmental conditions, or operator performance—before results are reported. We’ll also discuss quality controls’ ability to help fulfill regulatory requirements and examine the role of temperature measurement and monitoring instruments in safeguarding patient samples.

Learning Objectives

This webinar will help you:

• Assess the critical role of quality controls
• Identify attributes of effective quality controls
• Evaluate quality control solutions for clinical laboratories
• Apply certified measurement and monitoring instruments
