Each objective is an everyday molecular laboratory quality skill, not a full accreditation curriculum.

  • Outline a practical investigation sequence for molecular errors: hold, gather facts, identify likely cause, correct, and verify
  • Apply contamination-response priorities: stop unidirectional breaches, contain amplicon risk, and bound affected lots/runs/patients using traceability
  • Distinguish immediate correction from longer-term corrective action that prevents recurrence, without treating one accreditation CAPA brand as universal
