# WHITE PAPER: The critical role of NGS reference materials in precision oncology applications

# Download the white paper today to learn more.

![White paper: The critical role NGS reference materials play in precision oncology applications](https://digital.seracare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/0.%20Landing%20Pages/SeraCare/NGS%20Application.jpg?width=472&height=609&name=NGS%20Application.jpg "White paper: The critical role NGS reference materials play in precision oncology applications")

 Translating genomics research into the improvement of patient outcomes requires the development of robust assays that can perform with the accuracy, sensitivity, and reproducibility required for clinical use. A crucial component of this assay development is the choice of reference material, which ensures the test is performing as expected and provides confidence in the results that will be used to monitor patient treatment and guide clinical outcomes.
