Watch Video RecordingEffective sample identification and tracking can minimize risks of sample mix-up and authenticate laboratory results.
Labs implement rigorous quality systems to ensure chain of custody for specimens. A specimen is often subject to different molecular biology workflows, including next generation sequencing (NGS) which can be complex as it involves transfer of specimens between multiple steps increasing the risk of specimen mishandling or mix-up.
This webinar will present a robust and cost-effective sample identification and tracking assay for quality assurance of NGS workflows.
