CLSI offers standards on quality management and proficiency testing for the molecular diagnostics laboratory, as well as guidelines on the proper collection, transport, preparation, and storage of specimens. Learn about molecular diagnostic methods for identification of infectious diseases as well as oncological applications for molecular testing.
This guideline includes recommendations for analytical validation and verification of multiplex assays, as well as a review of different types of biological and synthetic reference materials.
This guideline includes information on sequencing DNA targets of cultured isolates, provides a quantitative metric for perceiving microbial diversity, and can serve as the basis to identify microorganisms. By establishing interpretive criteria for microorganism identification by targeted DNA sequencing, this guideline provides structure to laboratories that identify microorganisms for medical use.
