DABA Lab Consultants assists both start-up labs and established ones with all of the necessary certificates and accreditation required by law. Any facility that performs laboratory tests on human specimens for the purpose of diagnosis or treatment is required by Federal Law to have a CLIA certificate. (See this documentation)
Therefore, our service includes determining the test menu, enrolling with both CLIA and COLA and their validation plans. We also offer technical consultation and guidance along the way to ensure that our clients are following those guidelines along with CAP Accreditation. (College of American Pathologists)
These tasks can be exceedingly time consuming and costly and our team can help you save both time and money because of our knowledge and experience. We will always work towards making your lab keep up to date on the latest updates while keeping your costs lower than our competitors.
