Collection and handling, verification of patient identification, and
specimen processing prior to analysis are given prime consideration.
Validity of the data obtained from the specimen is highly dependent upon
the excellence of laboratory staff technique, to include proper operation
to equipment, use of high quality reagents, adherence to a rigid quality
control program and careful attention to detail.
The laboratory continually updates its technology to such a degree that we
take a great deal of pride in being self-sufficient and in having the
ability to ensure our own quality and provide the prompt patient care.
