We Wrote the Book on Quality -- And Wrote it Again

 Westgard QC is proud to announce the new 4th edition of our popular textbook, Basic Method Validation and Verification.

By mid-October 2020, the list of methods for SARS-COV-2 testing (molecular, antigen, rapid, and serology), broke the 870 mark.  Rather than ask laboratories to evaluate more than 870 possibilities, we've narrowed the candidates down to a short list.
