Laboratório Pathos assegura a qualidade dos exames veterinários com conquista do Certificado de Proficiência

For yet another consecutive year, the laboratory celebrates Controllab’s Proficiency Certificate, a testament to its quality and commitment to animal health.

Based in Porto Alegre and specializing in veterinary analyses, Pathos Laboratory has received the Proficiency Certificate for the 19th consecutive year. This recognition confirms the accuracy of its analytical processes and reinforces the confidence in the results delivered to veterinarians, pet owners, and other partners.

This achievement is the result of the team’s daily dedication to ensuring reliable diagnoses and supporting animal care. The laboratory believes that all animals deserve attention and treatment based on trustworthy information, and it has been operating with this purpose since its inception.

The recognition comes through the Proficiency Testing promoted by Controllab. The laboratory’s participation has been voluntary since the service was launched for the veterinary sector, even before it became a legal requirement. This initiative demonstrates that commitment to quality has always been a priority for Pathos.

Proficiency Testing evaluates the accuracy of tests performed in laboratories. Here is how it works: the laboratory receives control samples, performs the analyses, and sends the results. These data are compared with those from other laboratories and the expected values. When there is agreement, the laboratory proves it is delivering reliable and consistent results.

The certification also keeps Pathos in compliance with the brazilian CFMV Resolution No. 1374/2020, which contributes to the institution’s credibility and strengthens public trust in its services.

The repetition of this achievement for 19 consecutive years demonstrates the laboratory’s solidity in a sector that demands technical quality, transparency, and continuous improvement. It reflects the team’s dedication and care in every step of the analytical processes.

Dr. Rosemari Terezinha de Oliveira, veterinarian, technical manager, and owner of Pathos Laboratory, celebrates:

“Achieving the 19th Proficiency Testing Certificate is a milestone for our team and for everyone who trusts our work. It recognizes our unwavering commitment to quality, process standardization, and technical excellence. For our audience, it represents diagnostic reliability and credibility in reports, proving that we adhere to rigorous external evaluation criteria.

That is why participating in the Proficiency Testing (PT) is fundamental. It allows us to compare our performance against international standards, identify opportunities for improvement, and promote continuous development. More than a quality control tool, the PT strengthens our scientific reputation and reaffirms our commitment to service excellence. This achievement not only validates our technical competence but also symbolizes respect for the patient, the client, and science.”

For Controllab, it is a source of pride to collaborate with institutions that make quality a constant value and prioritize animal health.
