Here is what a Quality Assurance Director had to say about his visit to Genelex:

“Everyone was very helpful, knowledgeable, and open with all of my requests. The facility is neat and orderly and designed to prevent cross-contamination of samples (e.g., segregation during various sample preparation steps for PCR amplification). The validation of the new technology was well planned and executed. All of the requirements that I like to see were performed:

  • On-site training of all personnel by the Tag-it Kit manufacturer
  • Parallel testing with an independent laboratory
  • Testing of samples that challenge the system (Corriel Samples)
  • Testing of normals (in-house blood draws)
  • Duplicate testing of samples for correlation
  • Development of positive controls for future testing (select Corriel Samples)
  • Establishment of Proficiency Testing

All study and validation data correlated nicely and demonstrated an accurate, robust assay with a well-defined method of data interpretation.”
