Quality Control & Validation
Bio-Techne Luminex High Performance Assays undergo the most extensive validation in the industry. Each assay is tested for sensitivity (three-quarters of low standard), intra-assay precision, inter-assay precision, linearity of dilution, and spike recovery in all validated sample types. Every lot is QC tested to ensure consistent, reproducible results that correlate with Quantikine ELISA standards.
