WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Multiplex assays detect the presence of and discriminate two or more analytes simultaneously in the same sample. The number of commercially available multiplex assays is increasing rapidly, as is the number of laboratory-developed multiplex assays, and these use a variety of technologies and instrument platforms. Multiplex testing provides significant challenges to the laboratory with regards to appropriate verification and validation testing, and especially the acquisition of appropriate control and reference materials to conduct the testing.
