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.
