Laboratory Quality Assurance

Laboratory Quality Assurance (QA) is a systematic process that ensures laboratory tests and procedures are accurate, reliable, and consistent. It involves implementing standard protocols, regular equipment calibration, staff training, and ongoing monitoring to identify and correct errors. QA helps labs maintain high standards, produce trustworthy results, and meet regulatory requirements. Essentially, it’s a proactive approach to guarantee that laboratory work is performed correctly and that the results can be confidently used for diagnosis, treatment, or research.
