  • Publication number: 20070245184
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that relate to a platform, techniques, and processes for verifying the precision, sensitivity, accuracy, reproducibility, and other characteristics of biological tests, such as DNA identification or other tests or assays. According to various embodiments, a logic engine can guide a user to, arrange, conduct, and record studies designed to ensure that chemistry kits and laboratory operations return dependably valid results. The validation platform can manage the design of the entire validation workflow, from initiation of a verification project for one or more chemistry kits or other assays or equipment, to design of individual studies to test the accuracy, sensitivity, reproducibility, and other parameters of biological testing. The validation engine can automatically generate a sample plate layout to conduct individual assays.
