The NIBSC Result Reporting System (RRS) is a powerful online performance monitoring platform designed to help diagnostic laboratories monitor assay performance, identify trends, detect emerging issues, and benchmark results against peer laboratories. Supporting both molecular and serology assays, RRS transforms routine QC data into meaningful insights through automated statistical analysis, interactive dashboards, and industry-recognised Westgard rule monitoring.
RRS supports both molecular and serology reagents, including NIBSC NAT and Serology (Ab/Ag) Reference Reagents, as well as any other in-house and third-party quality control materials used in your laboratory, affording users the flexibility to manage all QC materials within a single platform.
A broad range of assays are supported, including commercial NAT extraction and amplification systems, in-house developed tests, automated and manual platforms, multiplex testing, and different reporting units (IU/mL, copies/mL, Ratio, Ct value, etc)
RRS automatically applies multi-rule Westgard QC analysis to your reference reagent data. Potential warning events and assay failures are clearly highlighted, helping laboratories identify both random and systematic errors (such as assay drift, calibration issues, reagent deterioration) before they impact patient testing.
RRS enables visualisation of performance over time with interactive Levey-Jennings charts. It automatically calculates mean values, ±1 SD, ±2 SD and ±3 SD limits, Westgard rule violations, and batch-specific performance trends, allowing laboratories to rapidly assess assay stability and identify changes in performance before they become significant issues.
RRS generates inter-laboratory bell curve reports that position your laboratory’s performance against aggregated data from peer users, providing an additional layer of confidence in assay performance and consistency.
Explore variation between methods, assays and laboratories through interactive box plot reporting, enabling evaluation method performance, investigation of unexpected variation, and support for assay selection and validation activities.
RRS users can create a personalised dashboard containing frequently used assays, QC monitoring widgets, data entry shortcuts, trend and benchmarking report. The dashboard automatically updates with the latest data, providing an immediate overview of assay performance across your laboratory.
RRS is suitable for clinical diagnostic laboratories, blood services, public health laboratories, molecular testing facilities, serology laboratories, and research and reference laboratories
