Bookings are now open for the Standardisation of Genome Amplification Techniques and serology (SoGATs) workshop. An opportunity to hear from an international forum to discuss and shape scientific strategies for the development of reference materials that harmonise the performance of molecular and serological diagnostic assays for infectious diseases.

The event is targeted at laboratory scientists, assay manufacturers, reference laboratories, External Quality Assessment (EQA) providers and regulators in the field of infectious disease diagnostics.

The programme will explore a number of different themes including; current challenges for clinical infectious disease diagnostics, measuring serological responses in infectious disease and why reference materials are required to assure next-generation sequencing (NGS) as a routine diagnostic.

The head of the testing laboratory for in vitro diagnostic medical devices at the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, Dr Heinrich Scheiblauer, will report on the evaluation of test performance of SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests in Europe as part of the session "Current challenges for Assuring the Quality of Clinical Infectious Disease Diagnostics".
