The text first describes good laboratory practices, including quality management, design control of tests, and FDA guidelines for laboratory-developed tests, and preclinical validation study designs. The second focus of the book is on best practices for staffing and training, including cost of testing, staffing requirements, process improvement using Six Sigma techniques, training and competency guidelines, and complete training programs for cytogenetic and molecular genetic technologists. The third part of the text provides stepwise standard operating procedures for chromosomal, FISH and microarray-based tests, including preanalytic, analytic, and postanalytic steps in testing, which are divided into categories by specimen type and test type. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e All three sections of the book include example worksheets, procedures, and other illustrative examples that can be downloaded from the Wiley website to be used directly without having to develop prototypes in your laboratory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Providing a wealth of information on both laboratory management and molecular and cytogenetic testing, \u003ci\u003eCytogenetic Laboratory Management\u003c\/i\u003e will be an essential tool for laboratorians worldwide in the field of laboratory testing and genetic testing in particular. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book gives the essentials of: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloping and implementing good quality management programs in laboratories\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstanding design control of tests and preclinical validation studies and reports\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFDA guidelines for laboratory-developed tests\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse of reagents, instruments, and equipment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCost of testing assessment and process improvement using Six Sigma methodology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStaffing training and competency objectives\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComplete training programs for molecular and cytogenetic technologists\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Standard operating procedures for all components of chromosomal analysis, FISH, and microarray testing of different specimen types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e This volume is a companion to \u003ci\u003eCytogenetic Abnormalities: Chromosomal, FISH and Microarray-Based Clinical Reporting\u003c\/i\u003e.
