What CLIA Certification Means for You

 

Brooks Applied Labs (BAL) is a clinical test site in conformance with the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment (CLIA). BAL works closely with physicians, academia, government agencies, and industry to support high complexity metals and metalloid analyses in specimens from humans for diagnostic and clinical research. At BAL we understand that each test procedure will have an inherent level of bias, which is why we have generated our own reference values for interpretation of diagnostic results. Furthermore, we strive to apply the most technologically advanced analytical approaches to maximize accuracy while mitigating analytical interferences. Whether you have 5000 samples that need analysis in 48 hours for a clinical study, or a partner laboratory to support ongoing diagnostic testing, BAL is here to support you. Visit our website to learn more about BAL's experience with biomonitoring projects, many of which require CLIA-certification. Contact us today to find out how partnering with BAL can make the difference with your next endeavor.
