DiaCarta Ltd., a novel molecular diagnostic test developer for cancer and infectious diseases, has received accreditation by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) for its CLIA certified lab. This accreditation is awarded to facilities that meet the high standards of quality, accuracy, and consistency in laboratory services required by CAP and underscores DiaCarta’s leadership and commitment to excellence.
“This CAP Accreditation is a tremendous accomplishment that signifies DiaCarta’s commitment to excellence and I am proud of our team’s dedication in support this major milestone,” says Zheng Li, vice president of Medical Clinical Affairs at DiaCarta. “This achievement reflects our continued adherence to the highest standards of quality, accuracy and consistency in providing clinical diagnostic tests to patients and clinical communities and builds on the success of our recently won New York State CLIA license.”
The U.S. federal government recognizes the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program as being equal to or more stringent than the government’s own inspection program. During the CAP inspection process, inspectors examine the laboratory’s quality system and records. Included in the inspection is the examination of laboratory staff qualifications, laboratory equipment, safety programs, and overall management practices.
