Regulatory Programs

Accurate laboratory test results are essential to health assessment and disease or environmental exposure prevention. Wadsworth Center's quality and regulatory oversight programs assure the development and implementation of methods that provide accurate, reliable, reproducible test results from clinical specimens or samples collected from the environment. These programs include issuance of operating licenses to clinical laboratories, environmental testing laboratories and human tissue banks for transplantation and research.
