Certifications

  • CAP Laboratory Accreditation since October 1996

  • Laboratory certified by the Fundación Bioquímica Argentina since 2001 (Lab Certification # C-0030) - Republic of Argentina

LBM is accredited by the College of American Pathologists in the following fields:

  • Hematology
  • Clinical Chemistry
  • Urine Test
  • Special Chemistry
  • “In vitro” nuclear medicine, including hormones and tumor markers
  • Therapeutic drug monitoring

Accreditation by the CAP means that the quality standards required for laboratories in the United States have been met, and these standards evidence a continuous quality improvement program. The College of American Pathologists (CAP) assesses accuracy of the methods used in the laboratory by means of its quality control program.

This program comprises continuous auditing of our laboratory by this institution by means of: a) a visit to our laboratory every 2 years by a CAP inspector; b) answers to our queries, which are assessed by CAP (Proficiency Testing). This assessment of the laboratory's performance is available to medical auditors for inspection.
