Ghent, Belgium – September 18, 2012 - Trinean NV today announced to be included in the ISBER Biorepository Proficiency Testing Program 2012. The ISBER PT program is designed for biospecimen repositories to assess the accuracy of their quality control assays, including their DNA quantification methods. The recently launched proficiency testing program dedicated a specific category for the quantification and purity testing of DNA with Trinean’s spectrophotometer and cDrop™ analytical software.
“This decision of ISBER confirms that the combination of our spectrophotometer with our cDrop analytical software is a valuable alternative to the traditional methods for quantifying DNA, RNA or protein”, commented Tony Montoye, Head of Marketing. “Our innovative approach using the cDrop™ spectral analysis software is becoming a reference QC method in these institutes and as of this year the ISBER PT program allows them to validate it in a controlled way.”
The ISBER inter-laboratory testing schemes aim to compare results obtained throughout laboratories around the world. The proficiency testing program provides guidance to biorepositories and is a necessary quality assurance tool for their accreditation
