Flow Cytometry Services: Clinical Research Organization

CLIA Certification

Our CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvements Act of 1988) certification documents that our laboratory meets the stringent federal and state requirements for high complexity testing related to disease diagnosis or health monitoring. While this is essential for our clinical clients, our research clients also benefit from having their assays performed in a CLIA certified laboratory.

The FDA and publishers will have confidence that results obtained in a CLIA certified laboratory have come from well controlled and properly performed technical procedures. High complexity CLIA laboratories must also have an experienced Clinical Lab Director on staff to help clients with assay selection and result interpretations. Our clinical experts are available during any phase of the testing process to current and prospective clients.

CAP Accreditation

Our CAP (College of American Pathologists) Accreditation confirms that our laboratory meets stringent requirements around best practices and scientific rigor around clinical testing, including the integration of a robust quality management system. CAP Accreditation is only awarded to laboratories who demonstrate consistency in the high-quality performance and accuracy of clinical testing.

The CAP accreditation process is designed to ensure a laboratory provides the highest level of care for its patients. Inspectors examine the laboratory’s records and quality improvement procedures. CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management.
