The PT Schemes are a fundamental tool for laboratories to demonstrate their technical competence, ensuring the confidence of the analytical results they issue. For the development of these schemes, ielab prepares and sends samples to the laboratories for testing. Then, statistically analyze the results provided by all participants and evaluate the effectiveness of each of them.

ielab company has become the first Accredited PT Schemes for SARS-CoV-2. Accreditation has been granted by the National Accreditation Entity (ENAC), which is the only Spanish body endowed with public authority to grant these distinctions, in accordance with the provisions of the European Regulation.

This important recognition provides added value to ielab clients, since it allows them to demonstrate the effectiveness of laboratories in detecting and quantifying the virus, thus contributing to the fight against Covid-19.

The Production Director of ielab, Estíbaliz Sastre González, highlighted that «this scope of accreditation represents a very important achievement that reflects the innovation work that we have been doing at ielab and is for our clients a new contribution that facilitates quality control in laboratories. »
