Research and Emerging Technologies (Unit 5)

General aim

Thus far the introduction of molecular genetic tests into diagnostic service has mainly been at an ad hoc and case-to-case basis. Quality systems, proper evaluation and general validation procedures were often lacking in the implementation process of the novel technology. This has seriously delayed and hampered the proper introduction of new genetic tests and has also caused increased financial expanses for many laboratories and research partners.

The aim of EuroGentest Unit 5 is to support and to guide the implementation of emerging technologies into diagnostic application. A rigorous test evaluation program, including Beta testing in accredited laboratories and on selected clinical samples, will be used to introduce new technologies into the European diagnostic labs.
