As clinical genomics diagnostics continues to evolve, the primary challenge for laboratories has shifted from data acquisition, to ensuring their NGS tests are safe and effective. Whether they are developing an assay for circulating tumor DNA, validating a test to predict an antiviral therapy response, or are in production to provide parents with life changing health information, the underlining goal remains the same: your results must be accurate, precise, and consistent. High-quality, highly-multiplexed reference materials and the effective use of quality control metrics for monitoring the health of your assays are two solutions to help achieve those goals.
