activities

Operations are run under the control of a well-defined Quality Management System (QMS) and certified for the following norms:  

ISO 9001:2015 (certification) that specifies the general requirements for quality management systems in client-based organisations .

ISO 17025:2017 (accreditation) that specifies the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories for the following methods:  

• DNA Quantification by Spectrofluorometry;  
• Nucleic Acid Quantification by Spectrophotometry;  
• RNA Integrity Measurement;  
• 16s rRNA Gene Sequencing.  

Finally, operations are also compliant with the principles of ISO 17043:2010 (Proficiency Testing). FIND OUT MORE
