Analytic Standards

Analytic standards refer to the established criteria and quality benchmarks used to ensure that laboratory tests and measurements are accurate, reliable, and consistent. They include protocols for sample collection, methods of analysis, calibration of equipment, and data interpretation. By adhering to these standards, labs can produce valid results that are trustworthy for decision-making, regulatory compliance, and scientific research. Essentially, analytic standards serve as a guideline to maintain the integrity and quality of analytical procedures across different laboratories and applications.
