How often do you need to run QC Test? Daily, weekly, monthly or as needed...

[@surfn07]

External Positive and Negative Control Swabs should be tested once with each new shipment received and once for each untrained operator.

[@PPPOOOFJJD]

Too much material for a single test. Not practical

[@surfn07]

Its a molecular test, accurate and easy to use. It just takes a couple of uses to get proficient.

[@dlalsrydpdy]

Requires lots of procedures and training. Cepheid Xpert or Roche Liat is much easier to do molecular testing.
