The expansion of controls for microorganism research and lactose intolerance testing enhances the quality of examination routines.
Controllab has expanded its offering of External Quality Controls (Proficiency Testing) for the areas of clinical microbiology and genetics. This expansion aims to enhance the quality of analytical routines and support establishments in complying with the brazilian normative RDC 786/2023 and accreditation requirements.
What are the benefits of participating in Proficiency Testing?
By participating in Proficiency Testing (PT), laboratories demonstrate the reliability of their analytical results and identify failures, enabling corrective or preventive actions to be taken. Additionally, PT allows testing facilities to perform market comparisons and detect trends that may otherwise go unnoticed.
This directly contributes to patient safety by preventing incorrect diagnoses and inappropriate treatments, while also strengthening the laboratory’s market credibility and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
With one of the largest portfolios in the world, featuring over 3,500 tests, Controllab has launched new Proficiency Tests. Explore each of them below and their respective areas.
Clinical Microbiology
- Epidemiological Surveillance Cultures (ESC) – Candida auris; CAZ-AVI resistant microorganisms; polymyxin-resistant microorganisms.
- Group A Streptococcus (GAS): culture.
We highlight the following additional Proficiency Tests available to enhance the reliability of phenotypic and molecular analyses in Epidemiological Surveillance routines:
- Epidemiological Surveillance Cultures – Detection of Carbapenemases; ERC; ESBL; GBS; MRSA/ORSA; and VRE.
- Molecular Epidemiological Surveillance – Detection of Carbapenemases; ESBL; GBS; MRSA; and VRE.
