In this interview Ashley Brant, Senior Scientific Director at Eurofins Bioanalytical Services (MO, USA), discusses the role of critical reagents and why they are integral in relation to assay performance. She highlights the different challenges associated with changing reagents and how Eurofins evaluate the expiry/re-test date of a critical reagent. The interview concludes with her opinion on how the management of critical reagents will evolve over the next 5 years.
Questions discussed:
- Can you explain why critical reagents are important in relation to assay performance?
- What are the challenges associated with changing reagents?
- At Eurofins you utilize a Test Method Summary Sheet, could you explain how this recording system works?
- How do you evaluate the expiry date or a re-test date of a critical reagent?
- Lastly, how do you see the management of critical reagents evolving over the next 5 years?
