Quality Assurance & Proficiency Testing
To maintain our accreditation, we participate in proficiency testing 2-3 times annually. This involves analyzing samples with known concentrations and comparing our results against established standards to verify accuracy and identify any areas needing improvement.
Our laboratory also undergoes regular on-site audits by accreditation bodies and maintains comprehensive documentation of all testing procedures, calibrations, and quality control measures.
