Reliability is key in lab testing and is defined as a reproducible test result for an identical sample under identical test conditions. There are industry criteria and guidelines for this as set federally by CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) Requirements for Analytical Quality. Under the government of CLIA, a diagnostic laboratory has demonstrated and documented participation in proficiency testing and quality assurance and control. CLIA certification and accreditation requires that the laboratory be inspected by a CLIA accredited organization and approved by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), formerly HCFA. Inspections for this certification may be completed though COLA (Commission of Laboratory Accreditation) or CAP (College of American Pathologists).
CLIA governs all laboratory operations including; accreditation, proficiency testing, quality assurance, quality control, records and information systems, test methods, equipment, and instrumentation. Regulations set under these operations are designed to assure reliability and consistency of laboratory test results. In the strictest sense, a lab must follow CLIA procedures for monitoring and evaluating the quality of the analytical testing process to assure reliability; a true and reputable test result.
With our ELISA testing, US BioTek Laboratories runs each and every serum specimen in complete duplicate as your assurance of a reproducible report. We perform daily in-house reproducibility checks and submit to unknown reproducibility checks through the College of American Pathologists. Our goal is to take every measure to ensure reproducible and reliable results.
Certified under CLIA-0D0965664; a subscriber to the proficiency testing programs of the College of American Pathologists; certified and accredited under COLA (Commission of Laboratory Accreditation, and recognized under the Washington State Department of Health.
US BioTek Laboratories has met all criteria in achieving our most recent survey with zero citations for Laboratory Accreditation by COLA, a national healthcare accreditation organization.
Accreditation is given only to laboratories that apply rigid standards of quality in day-to-day operations, demonstrate continued accuracy in the performance of proficiency testing, and pass a rigorous on-site laboratory survey. US BioTek Laboratories has earned COLA accreditation as a result of a long-term commitment to provide quality service to their professional healthcare clientele.
COLA is approved by the federal government and sponsored by the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Medical Association, the American College of Physicians-American Society of Internal Medicine, and the American Osteopathic Association.
US BioTek Laboratories has set a new standard for identifying and quantifying both serum IgA, IgE and IgG antibodies in response to Foods, Inhalants, Spices, and Herbs.
