The validation step is the first step in the genotyping procedure. The aim of this step is to find the optimal working conditions for your markers of interest using a subset of samples. These conditions are then used for the second step in the genotyping procedure, the production step. If no conditions could be used to rescue failed markers in the validation step, the customer will be notified and asked to replace the markers or repeat the validation step. Only when good quality data is obtained from the validation step do we proceed to the production step.
