From Target Product Profiles (TPPs) to Target Specimen Profiles (TSPs): A New Concept in Infectious Disease Biobanking for Diagnostic Applications

A target specimen profile (TSP) corresponds to the required characteristics of the specimen panels needed to demonstrate that a diagnostic kit meets the target product profile (TPP). TSPs can guide biobanks in the prospective collection of sample panels to support the development and validation of diagnostics.
