Abstract: Disclosed is a quality evaluation method performed in a genetic test for testing a gene in a sample collected from a subject, for a plurality of types of gene mutations that include a first type gene mutation and a second type gene mutation different from the first type gene mutation, and the quality evaluation method includes preparing a quality control sample that includes a first reference gene having the first type gene mutation, and a second reference gene having the second type gene mutation; obtaining sequence information of the genes included in the quality control sample; and outputting an index for evaluation of a quality of the genetic test, based on the sequence information having been obtained.

Abstract: The present invention is to present a test strip package that has less potential for accommodating a test strip and a desiccant agent at a location different from their proper location originally determined. The test strip package comprising: a test strip for detecting an analyte contained in a sample; a desiccant agent; and a container comprising a first room for housing the test strip, a second room for housing the desiccant agent and a cover for sealing the first and second rooms, the second room being communicated with the first room.
