Organised by the Graz Institute of Pathology, SPIDIA4P, QIAGEN and BBMRI.at, the course raised awareness about the existence and relevance of the CEN Technical Specifications and ISO Standards and of standardising pre-analytical processes in R&D and medical diagnostics.
A group of international participants had the opportunity to learn which CEN Technical Specifications (CEN/TS) “In-Vitro Diagnostic examinations ‑ Specifications for Pre-examination Processes” have already been published and which pre-analytical CEN/TS and ISO Standards are under development.
