The excellent results obtained, with 90% in the evaluation of correct variants and 100% in specificity, demonstrate the high level of accuracy and reliability of its tests.
- Participation in the European Molecular Genetics Quality Network (EMQN) External Quality Assessment (EQA) programme in 2020: Warsaw Genomics’ participation in EMQN’s EQA schemes for ovarian cancer (germline and somatic variants) in 2020, with satisfactory results in genotyping and clinical agreement, demonstrates its continued commitment to quality and continuous improvement in the field of genetic diagnostics. EMQN is a UKAS accredited not-for-profit organisation that provides EQA schemes for genetic testing laboratories.
- Participation in INSTAND’s external quality assessment for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus genome in 2020: The successful participation in this program by INSTAND, a renowned German organization in the field of external quality assessments for medical laboratories, demonstrates Warsaw Genomics’ ability to perform accurate and reliable molecular diagnostic tests, even in health emergency situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Participation in the QCMD 2022 SARS-CoV-2 EQA program: Participation in the QCMD 2022 SARS-CoV-2 EQA (External Quality Assessment) program further reinforces Warsaw Genomics’ commitment to quality in SARS-CoV-2 testing, demonstrating its ability to maintain high standards even in an ever-evolving field. QCMD is a UKAS accredited proficiency testing provider.
Certificates
These certifications and participations, granted by prestigious bodies such as the Polskie Rejestru Statków (PRS), the College of American Pathologists (CAP), the European Molecular Genetics Quality Network (EMQN), INSTAND and QCMD, are a clear testament to Warsaw Genomics’ compliance with the highest industry standards in:
- Test accuracy and reliability: EQA’s rigorous laboratory processes and constant participation in programs ensure the accuracy and reproducibility of results, as well as constant updating with best practices.
- Quality Management: Quality management systems are implemented that comply with international regulations, ensuring traceability and security of samples and data.
- Information security: Protecting sensitive patient information is a priority, backed by a robust ISMS.
- Staff competence: A team of highly trained scientists and technicians with extensive experience in genetics ensures quality at every stage of the process.
- Capacity to respond to health emergencies and adapt to new diagnostic needs: Participation in specific EQA programs, such as INSTAND and QCMD for SARS-CoV-2, demonstrates Warsaw Genomics’ adaptability and responsiveness to new diagnostic needs.
