"When it comes to clinical and analytical laboratory testing, there is no room for error. Patients depend upon accurate diagnosis in order to make informed decisions about their health, and even the most minor discrepancies or uncertainties in test results can create life-threatening consequences. Similarly, analytical laboratories depend on accurate results to ensure the products they test and produce can have the greatest amount of impact on the general population.
Laboratories take every precaution to mitigate risk, but they often overlook the risk of potential contamination to their laboratory consumables and equipment that can come from even the smallest sample if using materials with unproven purity. Once the testing equipment itself is compromised, the risk of cross-contamination between samples increases exponentially – which leads to inaccurate test results."
