Megazyme sets strict acceptance criteria when performing quality control on our samples.
Below are an example of the strict acceptance criteria used at Megazyme, however customers must decide what acceptance criteria are suitable for their lab when analysing samples.
All liquid kit controls must be within +/- 2% of the values stated on the bottle.
Kit solutions are tested in kit and the results obtained must be within +/- 2% of the stated values.
All powder kit controls must be within +/- 5% of the values stated on the bottles.
Powder controls have a slightly larger acceptance criteria as these samples usually require more sample handling and introduce slightly more error.
