July 2019—Advanced Instruments launched its Web-based Advanced QC Peer Group program. The program allows laboratories to compare their osmometer serum and urine QC with their peers’ data on a real-time and monthly basis. Laboratories can troubleshoot issues by providing instant and monthly reports to evaluate internal and external performance in real time. The program also aims to give labs increased assurance in proficiency survey and patient results.
“We are pleased to deliver a program that helps ensure accurate results in patient testing and helps labs troubleshoot and detect issues quickly. Feedback from usability testing spoke to how simple and intuitive users found the peer group,” Julie MacKenzie, product manager, Advanced Instruments, said in a company press release.
