Contribution to the CCQM workshop

It's great to be an integral part of a scientific network and to be able to come together with colleagues again and again to exchange and discuss new results on different issues. This was also the case at this year's CCQM workshop "Towards standardised pathogen measurements".

Control samples and dPCR - our contribution

Annemarie Martin, dPCR project manager at our company, gave a presentation on:

"Reliable quantification of control samples for the virus genome detection to assess laboratory performance in EQA schemes".

This gave rise to an interesting discussion on standardization in virus diagnostics.

The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) as host

The Helmholtz-Fonds e.V. organised an exchange between international scientists under the umbrella of the PTB.

Many thanks to Dr Esmeralda Valiente for the excellent organisation.
