Product Consistency & Stability: Combined Real‐ Time Study Design for Quantitative Methods

• Three lots of test kits 

• One lot near the expiration date • One lot near the middle of the expiration period • One lot recently manufactured.  • Conducted using pure culture, matrix, DNA, etc.  • Fifteen (15) total replicates evaluated for each lot.   • 5 replicates of the target analyte at a high level • 5 replicates of the target analyte at a low level • 5 replicates of a non‐target analyte at a high level • Test in a randomized blind coded fashion. • Decode results and analyze for effects on bias and repeatability. • Data demonstrating no statistical difference in detection  between lots and no significant time slope are required.
