Laboratory accreditation support for CAP, COLA, and ISO 15189
Accreditation shows that your laboratory follows recognized quality standards and is evaluated periodically. MQS helps you understand what the standards ask of your laboratory, close gaps, and prepare your team. Accreditation decisions are made by the accrediting organization, not by MQS.
