BeadWatch: Automated Longitudinal Quality Control Monitoring for Luminex Bead‐Based Immunoassays in Histocompatibility Laboratories

HLA, Volume 108, Issue 1, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Luminex bead‐based immunoassays are central to HLA antibody testing in histocompatibility laboratories, yet QC monitoring remains largely manual. Although ISO 15189, EFI and ASHI standards require statistical trend analysis, laboratories typically rely on spreadsheet tracking or periodic visual inspection; these approaches can detect gross run
