CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and records, and overall management.
“Anpac Bio is proud to have received this accreditation,” said Chris Yu, Chairman and CEO of Anpac Bio. “The College of American Pathologists (CAP) is the gold standard in medical laboratory accreditation. Through this rigorous inspection process, CAP has certified that Anpac Bio is meeting the highest standards in quality patient care.
