Creating an Effective Quality Control Laboratory

May 30, 2023
Laboratory quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) are essential in highly regulated industries, including food, cosmetics, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals. Even while the term “quality” has a wide range of applications, in a laboratory setting, it frequently refers to the accuracy and dependability of results. Systems that dependably deliver highly accurate results are acceptable, but they can be maximized with…

Laboratory Informatics Systems Help Eliminate Data Entry Errors

May 18, 2023
During the workday, laboratory personnel generate data and information. That intellectual material forms the basis of decisions about product quality, research directions, someone’s health, and other matters. Data and information must be entered into reports, computer systems, databases, and software packages to be useful. While that seems like a trivial task, it isn’t, not because typing a few keystrokes is…
