CCLM has published a set of 13 analytical performance specifications for measurement uncertainty. Only 7 years after the Milan Consensus Meeting. And only 15-20 years after MU took center stage in the laboratory quality debate.

A few months into the Covid19 crisis, we need to stop treating it as a short-term crisis and start preparing it like it's a long-term emergency.

Wayne Dimech revisits the quality challenges of SARS-Cov-2 testing. More than a year later, are we doing any better? Wayne Dimech is Executive Manager, Scientific and Business Relations at NRL, Australia (NRL) in Melbourne. He is a recognized expert in infectious disease serology and laboratory quality.

It's 2021, the new year, so of course it's time for someone to suggest a new way to do QC. This time it's the metrologists, and their proposal has a few merits and many more downsides.

Funny thing about measurement uncertainty - it's not always clear how to calculate it. Particularly when clinically significant bias exists.

We know how to change QC frequency in a data-driven, evidence-based, patient-risk focused way. But we don't seem to be doing it at all.
