Effective clinical and public health decision-making during a pandemic depends on reliable and interoperable clinical diagnostic test results.

We present a ‘playbook’ for an inter-laboratory harmonization study that calibrates any available standards against a limited-availability standard issued by a global authority like the World Health Organization (WHO).
