What is it about?
The manuscript described a survey of 8 laboratories performing this test and describes variability in results. Follow up studies show that education reduces variability in most laboratories when a common method and protocol are used.

Why is it important?
Many labs are being asked to perform testing on patients post therapy for minimal residual disease. This manuscript highlights key issues in testing.
Perspectives
It was a pleasure working with a range of excellent laboratories willing to give their time and expertise to work toward a standardized procedure, potentially reducing variation across centers.
