  • On-Demand Webinars



Components of the dashboard coming in 2024:

  • Methods library: designed to help users find appropriate methods more quickly and explain their performance limitations to clientele.
  • Registry of expertise, testers, and end-users: supports development and validation of new assays through ring-testing and continuous improvement through end-use feedback
  • Registry of specimen and insilico cultures and collections and data: supports the development of validated protocols and use of appropriate positive and negative controls in testing laboratories




Research

You can submit your Diagnostic Assay Validation related papers to any APS journal. Publications presenting new or adapted diagnostic tests or assays should clearly state the purpose for which the assay is developed, e.g., surveillance both pre- and post- detection, presumptive identifications, confirmatory diagnostics, regulatory clearance of plant products including seed, germplasm or plants, research, etc.

  • Research manuscripts should give focus to assay validation parameters and explicitly state the purpose of the assay, assay fitness for the purpose, and which of the following validation parameters were addressed and how: analytical specificity, diagnostic specificity, analytical sensitivity, diagnostic sensitivity, repeatability, and reproducibility. Validation parameters should be discussed in the body of the manuscript and reviewed in the discussion section. The validation parameters listed above should be explicitly addressed, including those that were not addressed and why. Click here for more instructions on how to submit a manuscript.
