Abstract

We used the dried tube specimen (DTS) procedure to develop the COVID-19 Serology Control Panel (CSCP). The CSCP contains five well-characterized SARS-CoV-2 pooled plasma samples made available for labs around the world to compare test kits, use for external quality assurance, harmonize laboratory testing, and train laboratory workers.

Article Summary Line

The dried tube specimen system is a highly effective and resilient way to provide laboratories with well-characterized serology materials. The CSCP can help clinical laboratories inform their choice of diagnostic test to supplement clinical diagnoses of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
