Capture plate QC on receipt

[jalomahe]

Is anyone out there who is running a Galileo performing QC on receipt for Ready Screen, Ready ID, Extend I, Extend II etc plates to prove the reactivity of each of the wells?

If you are performing this type of QC what are you using for your controls?

Thanks for any input you can give would be greatly appreciated.

We stopped doing any "on receipt" testing years ago. It was determined to be of no value. We use the Echo and never even considered what you are asking about.

I'm curious, what is your motivation for such testing?

Over zealous CAP inspector who thinks that his way is THE way so, since this was our first inspection after going live on the Galileo, I just wanted to see what other Galileo users were doing.

Always rebut an inspector who thinks that his way is the only way. If your way is in compliance with the standards, say so in your response. Also add that this is what the inspector said. CAP is trying to "educate" those they send in the field away from that type of small-mindedness. Compliance may be achieved in many ways.
