The Immuno Concepts Patient Sample Interpretative Training Series (PSITS) is a program designed to train laboratory staff further in autoimmune disease testing; linking the laboratory results with the clinical diagnosis and interpretation. Even if your laboratory only performs the ANA test, there is an opportunity to use your knowledge to indicate whether additional testing is required for that sample.

You will receive detailed clinical notes with either a sample aliquot or photo, and are then required to test or recommend further testing, following the ANA result. Detailed statistical reports are compiled from all participants along with clinical discussions and coloured photos; either Fluorescent or Colorzyme®.  In addition, Diagnostic Solutions prepares a local (Australia and New Zealand) summary report.

The new Web-based PSITS is now up and running as "PSITS Online". This new PSITS Online program allows participants to directly enter or amend their results, as well as receive reports more efficiently.  Use the QUICKLINKS for fast access to PSITS Online. Diagnostic Solutions also posts all reports and summaries in the PSITS USER Group area of this website.

More comprehensive information about this year's program is available for participants in the USER GROUP area when you log-in as a Registered Member. If you haven't yet registered, please use the QUICKLINK to gain access to information only available for our users.
