Quality Control
All our services are certified with the International Quality Standard ISO 9001:2015. The transport of biological samples from our partners' facilities is conducted by private vehicles, equipped with refrigerated chambers, applying all the rules of safe transport UN3373. The majority of our laboratory analyses are accredited with the International Accreditation Standard ISO 15189:2012 of the Hellenic Accreditation System (ESYD).
In all three stages (pre-analytical - analytical - post-analytical) of our laboratory analyses, our processes are carried out with a central focus on the reliability of the results.
On a daily basis and for each laboratory analysis, internal and external quality control is carried out using protocols of International Reference Centres (RANDOX, BIORAD, UK NEQAS, INSTAND EV).
The core of our functionality is our Quality Control and Scientific Support Departments.
Specialized physicians, Biopathologists and Health Scientists of various specialties ensure the systematic application of quality and accreditation protocols in the production of our laboratory's results.
Our goal is to provide maximum consulting support and keep our partners happy.
LABORATORY ANALYSES ACCREDITATION ISO 15189:2012
ISO 15189 is an International Accreditation Standard that specifies the set of requirements that a laboratory must meet, both in terms of technological competence, as well as in terms of quality control of all processes required to produce a test result. The fundamental principles of the standard are traceability, risk prediction and mitigation of the risk of error or failure.
Central Lab has one of the greatest ISO 15189:2012 (Certificate No. 994) accreditations in the country, with a wide range of accredited laboratory analyses.
CERTIFICATION ISO 9001:2015
ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized standard for quality management and describes a management model that ensures the expected quality in services provided by an organization that always aim at customer satisfaction.
Central Lab’s Management, having as core and highest priority the provision of quality health services, applies quality policies that are controlled and certified also by the international quality standard ISO 9001:2015 (Certification Registration No. 041 16 0124, Certification Body TUV HELLAS).
With the above International Standards, Central Lab certifies all its processes in its Biological Material Laboratories and Administrative Services and also accredits a very large number of its laboratory analyses.
Clinical Trials
Central Lab and Iatriki Diagnosi Group, for the last five years, among others, have been active in the field of Clinical Trials. Our aim is to promote the medical research and to help patients worldwide get the best care possible. To do so, we follow all approved international, European and national laboratory practices.
In order to achieve our goal, we collaborate with CRO companies, Greek and multinational pharmaceutical companies, as well as with Greek hospital’s research centers.
As a particularly complex process, clinical trials require health care providers with high levels of training, experience and expertise.
Central Lab and Iatriki Diagnosi Group, having state-of-the-art medical equipment, provide imaging examinations of high diagnostic accuracy and low radiation dose.
They perform a wide range of specialized tests, accredited with ISO15189, in all fields of modern Laboratory Medicine (Hematology, Biochemistry, Biomarkers, Molecular Biology, Cytogenetics etc.) to meet the requirements of clinical studies phase I-IV.
A specialized and experienced team of physicians of various laboratory specialties and health scientists, exclusively involved in clinical studies, daily provide results of high reliability to the researchers of clinical studies.
At the same time, administrative staff -in constant and direct communication with the executives of CRO companies, pharmaceutical companies and research centers- deal with any administrative, organizational and technical problem that may arise, ensuring the uninterrupted development of research.
For Central Lab Central Lab and Iatriki Diagnosi Group, Clinical Trials are of top priority. This way, we make our own contribution to the welfare of patients, upgrading their quality of life, to the progress of medical research and -clearly- to our national economy.
