Routine:
• Ensure proper processing and analysis of Next Generation Sequencing test samples as per standard Operating Procedure guidelines and as requested by the clinicians.
• Be alert to functioning of Next generation sequencing testes/ samples are analyzed as per the accreditation requirements of NABL and CAP, to achieve highest quality standards.
• Ensure all Next Generation Sequencing tests/ samples are analyzed as per the accreditation requirements of NABL and CAP, to achieve highest quality standards.
• Ensure that computational recourses of sequencing facility is maintained with regular back-up process according to the set protocol.
• Standardize and optimize the Next Generation sequencing data analysis pipeline to work in without any interventions.
• Ensure that TAT is maintained by timely preparation and release of reports and that the critical reports to the relevant personal in a timely manner.
• Keep track of Software/Database/ and place order/ Renew license as per requirements.
• Out –sourcing of tests that are not performed in-House to appropriate laboratories and timely dispatch of reports.
• Maintain a high level of confidence in the test results. Identify new sequencing tests to be added and ensure proper standardization and validation of these test analysis and results.
