DiagCor scores 100% proficiency with most labs among participates in WHO HPV LabNet study

In recent study of 2014 WHO HPV LabNet proficiency, DiagCor scored 12 labs with 100% proficiency.

The WHO HPV LabNet has developed this international proficiency panel for HPV DNA detection and typing, and organized annual proficiency studies since 2007. The 2008 WHO HPV LabNet Proficiency Study for Evaluating HPV DNA Typing Methods was open for global participation for all interested laboratories to evaluate different HPV tests in different laboratories.

DiagCor’s GenoFlow HPV array test detects 33 HPV subtypes (Including 17 high-risk subtypes and 16 low-risk subtypes). The kit will also identify the presence of HPV molecules other kits might miss adopting Universal Probe. In 2010, 2011 and 2013 WHO HPV LabNet studies, DiagCor also obtained 100% proficiency.
