Rethinking Quality Control in Molecular Diagnostics: A Practical Guide to Implementing Unity Outside the Core Lab

Course overview

Unity Real Time has long been recognized as the gold standard for QC data management in clinical chemistry but its value in molecular diagnostics is often overlooked or misunderstood. This session challenges that perception and offers a practical guide for molecular infectious disease laboratories looking to modernize how they manage QC data. Attendees will explore the unique regulatory and operational complexities of QC in molecular microbiology, learn how real-time QC data management translates into meaningful clinical and workflow benefits, and see firsthand how Unity can be successfully implemented outside the traditional core-lab setting. Grounded in real-world experience from a leading academic molecular virology laboratory, this session equips laboratory professionals with actionable strategies to elevate QC practices, strengthen compliance, and demonstrate the value of Unity in the molecular space.
