In clinical diagnostics, precision and reliability are not just important—they’re mission-critical. Laboratories that aim to lead in quality, patient safety, and regulatory compliance often seek accreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP). Recognized as one of the most rigorous and respected accreditation programs globally, CAP sets the benchmark for laboratory excellence. CAP accreditation goes beyond minimum regulatory requirements, offering…

Laboratories are the backbone of clinical diagnostics, influencing millions of healthcare decisions every year. In such a critical role, even small errors in testing can have serious consequences. That’s why the U.S. federal government enforces the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), a comprehensive set of standards to ensure quality and reliability in all laboratory testing performed on human specimens. Whether…

For laboratories supporting product development, quality control, or regulatory testing in industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, and cosmetics, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is not just a guideline—it’s a legal and operational imperative. GMP ensures that every product leaving your facility meets the highest standards of quality, consistency, and safety. Without it, even the most scientifically sound processes can lead…

In highly regulated industries, trust in scientific data is non-negotiable. Whether it’s a pharmaceutical company submitting results to the FDA or a chemical manufacturer preparing safety studies for regulatory review, data must be credible, reproducible, and traceable. That’s why Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) exists—establishing a global standard for the quality and integrity of non-clinical laboratory studies. For laboratories involved in…

In regulated laboratory environments, maintaining the integrity, security, and traceability of electronic records is essential—not only for operational excellence but for legal compliance. That’s where 21 CFR Part 11 comes in. Enforced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this regulation defines how electronic records and electronic signatures must be managed to be considered as trustworthy and reliable as…

Protecting patient information is more than just a regulatory checkbox for laboratories—it’s a fundamental responsibility. Laboratories that manage patient data are required to comply with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulations to ensure sensitive health information remains private and secure. Whether your lab performs diagnostic testing, integrates with electronic health systems, or shares results with providers, HIPAA compliance…

Regulatory compliance is one of the most critical pillars of laboratory operations. From clinical diagnostics to food safety and pharmaceutical development, compliance ensures that labs operate safely, ethically, and in alignment with global standards. As regulatory demands grow more complex, laboratories must not only understand key compliance frameworks but also implement systems that support long-term adherence and adaptability. In this…

TNI/NELAP Accreditation has become a defining benchmark for laboratories that aim to maintain the highest standards of environmental testing, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance. In today’s increasingly regulated and data-driven world, laboratories across the United States are under mounting pressure to demonstrate not only technical competency but also a robust commitment to traceability, defensibility, and transparency. This is where TNI/NELAP…

Today’s laboratories generate more data than ever before—but the true value of that data depends on how well it is managed, interpreted, and applied. That’s where laboratory informatics comes in. As the backbone of digital transformation in the lab, laboratory informatics connects people, instruments, and processes in real time to accelerate discovery, improve quality, and ensure compliance. From life sciences…
