Confidence in Toxicology Testing Starts with QC
In clinical toxicology testing, effective quality control (QC) is essential to ensure accurate results and reliable assay performance. Selecting the right control materials helps laboratories deliver quality patient results, maintain compliance, and improve operational efficiency.
A More Complex Testing Environment
Toxicology QC requires a tailored approach due to variables such as:
- Specimen type (urine or oral fluid)
- Drug testing menu and metabolites
- Assay cutoff levels for positive/negative results
