Of course, DNA and RNA analyses should be inexpensive and performed with state-of-the-art technologies.

Nevertheless, the quality of the work is at least equally important. It is essential that testing is conducted by trained personnel without any delays and that results are 100% reliable. The steps required to produce these results should be fully traceable. Moreover, documented compliance with international quality standards may be needed. This requires competence. We can proudly say that multiple bodies, including the Dutch Accreditation Council (RvA), have endorsed our competence in genome and transcriptome analysis. In consecutive years, customers have rated our service with an average score of 8.5 or higher.

Quality options at GenomeScan

For many preclinical and clinical analyses, the minimal laboratory quality level is legally determined. The legal regulations also apply to subcontracted work. The referral lab must (or may) perform the study under ISO/IEC 17025. Hence, GenomeScan asks its customers to indicate if the following option applies:

ISO/IEC 17025

Quality assurance is a top priority within GenomeScan. For this reason, we have chosen to work according to ISO/IEC 17025. NGS studies can be performed under the scope of our RvA accreditation (RvA Testing L518). For further details see our scope L518.
