Cloud-based quality control data management platform aims to reduce costly reruns and streamline QC reporting workflows.


Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched its Unity Next Peer QC data management software throughout the Asia-Pacific region, expanding access to the company’s next-generation quality control platform designed to help laboratories troubleshoot QC errors and improve patient testing confidence.

The cloud-based software provides on-demand access to peer reporting and quality control data through an intuitive interface, enabling labs to quickly identify and resolve QC issues while reducing costly test reruns. The platform consolidates Bio-Rad QC data into a single system, allowing users to compare their analytical performance against peer groups and ensure reliable patient results.

Unity Next Peer QC offers automatic software updates and modernized user experience powered by cloud computing, eliminating delays from manual software maintenance. The platform provides data visualization and report generation capabilities for compliance management, with scalable features designed to accommodate laboratory growth.

Streamlined Workflow and Peer Comparison

The software connects Asia-Pacific laboratories to what Bio-Rad describes as the largest independent peer groups for data comparison. The navigation system aims to streamline QC reporting processes and improve overall workflow efficiency.

Labs new to Bio-Rad’s QC data management suite can access guided support and training from the company’s technical team. The platform’s scalable architecture provides laboratories with expansion capabilities as their testing volumes and requirements evolve.

The launch represents Bio-Rad’s continued investment in quality control solutions for the clinical diagnostics market, where QC data management plays a critical role in maintaining testing accuracy and regulatory compliance.

Regional Expansion Strategy

The Asia-Pacific rollout follows Bio-Rad’s strategy to expand its digital laboratory solutions across key international markets. The region’s growing clinical laboratory sector and increasing demand for quality management tools make it a priority market for the company’s QC software platforms.

Unity Next Peer QC builds on Bio-Rad’s existing Unity platform, incorporating user feedback and technological advances to address common laboratory challenges around QC error resolution and peer data analysis. The software aims to help laboratories optimize decision-making processes while maintaining compliance with quality standards.
