Laboratory quality management

Laboratory quality management involves systematically ensuring that testing and analysis are accurate, reliable, and consistent. It includes setting standards, following proper procedures, and regularly checking equipment and processes to prevent errors. Proper documentation, staff training, and internal audits help maintain high quality. The goal is to produce trustworthy results that support accurate diagnosis, treatment, or research, ultimately ensuring safety and confidence in laboratory work. Think of it as a continuous effort to keep the lab functioning correctly, much like quality checks in manufacturing but tailored to scientific and medical testing.
