PCR-based Assay Regulations and Validation
While many PCR assays are developed for research applications there are further considerations for those that are being developed to become diagnostic assays or to be performed in support of: Biologics License Application (BLA), New Drug Application (NDA), Premarket Approval
Unannounced Audits Are Here – Are You and Your Suppliers Ready?
In May 2017, the European Union’s In Vitro Device Regulation (IVDR 2017/746) went into effect, replacing the In Vitro Diagnostic Device Directive (IVDD). The new regulation is more comprehensive than the IVDD and was introduced to reduce inconsistencies in the
