Due to the nature of the samples used in these devices, it is often not possible to preserve the same sample for future validations. In this context, the benefits of the <a href=\"https:\/\/controllab.com\/en\/solutions\/suppliers-of-in-vitro-diagnostic-products\/#certificacao-lote-a-lote\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lot-to-Lot Certification Program<\/a> offered by Controllab were mentioned.
