Join our guest speaker from EMQN CIC to learn about the role of external quality assessment and reference standards in genomic testing.

It is essential for genomic tests to undergo rigorous assessment to ensure the standardization and quality assurance of the tests before providing genetic results back to individuals. Join our webinar with EMQN to find out how their EQA schemes support the standardization of genomic testing by assessing the quality and consistency of tests utilizing Revvity’s Mimix™ cell line-derived reference standards.
