Roche and Bio-Rad Enter Into Global Quality Control Partnership

Roche (Basel, Switzerland) and Bio-Rad Laboratories (Hercules, CA, USA) have entered into a global partnership to provide their customers access to Bio-Rad's complete line of InteliQ products and Unity QC data management solutions along with customer training and support services.

Bio-Rad offers a broad range of quality controls covering analytes for immunoassay, chemistry, cardiac assessment, immunology, diabetes, coagulation, hematology, blood gas, drugs-of-abuse, and infectious disease testing. The company’s Unity QC data management solutions connect large peer groups of test systems and assay methods to the Unity Interlaboratory Program, enabling labs to compare their results in real time with over 25,000 other labs worldwide.

Through the global partnership, Roche and Bio-Rad will provide InteliQ products, a range of barcoded, load-and-go quality control tubes that provide efficiencies in workflow, in addition to Bio-Rad’s Unity QC data management solutions. The InteliQ products are designed to help streamline a lab's QC workflow with load-and-go efficiency and Unity QC data management solutions that help to reduce turnaround time and increase a laboratory’s analytical performance.

"We are proud to extend our partnership with Roche offering their customers access to our InteliQ line of quality controls and Unity QC data management solutions," said Dara Wright, Bio Rad Clinical Diagnostics Group EVP & President. "This agreement further strengthens and expands the relationship between Bio-Rad, the world’s leading QC supplier, and a leading diagnostic solutions provider."
