Once a run has the status of completed, it must be reviewed for quality control
purposes.
About this task
Runs should typically be reviewed by someone other than the Data Transfer Tech who
entered the results. The reviewer can check the calculated results, pass-fail status
of specimens and the run, and apply censors as needed.
Note: The review process should vary by project and assay. It is
recommended that your laboratory have documentation or written procedures in place
for this process.
