EQUAL-quant Programme:
Objectives
of the EQUAL-quant Programme:We are aiming to
provide laboratories carrying out quantitative PCR for the
quantification of cDNA the opportunity to participate in a Europe-wide
external quality assessment (EQA) program. For the purposes of this
project we are limiting the assessment to the 5’-nuclease (TaqMan)
assay. More
