A multi-centre pilot proficiency programme to assess the quality of molecular detection of respiratory viruses	2005-07-12		.txt	text/plain	4186	205	50	STUDY DESIGN: Respiratory virus proficiency panels were produced from diluted stocks of respiratory viruses provided and tested by four reference laboratories. Laboratories performing respiratory molecular tests want to report accurate and reliable results regardless of the type of assay in use and one of the best ways to assess performance is to participate in proficiency programmes, enabling laboratories to evaluate their performance (Schirm et al., 2002; Schloss et al., 2003; Noordhoek et al., 2004; Verkooyen et al., 2003) . Laboratories who had expressed an interest to QCMD in participating in a proficiency programme for molecular detection of respiratory viruses were asked to complete a questionnaire detailing technical aspects of the assays they had applied. In this study, samples were grown in cell culture and dilutions were made so sensitivity and limited specificity of assays for these viruses could be assessed.	./cache/cord-310140-h7uwl0pb.txt	./txt/cord-310140-h7uwl0pb.txt
