How it works

A clear path to accreditation

1

Assess

Gap assessment of your tests, personnel, facility and documents against CLIA, accreditor and state requirements.

2

Build

Close the gaps: quality system, SOPs, validations, proficiency testing and personnel files.

3

Apply

Prepare and submit CLIA, accreditor and state applications, and track them to approval.

4

Inspect and maintain

Mock inspection, inspection-day support, deficiency responses and ongoing compliance.

Who we help

Built for laboratories at every stage

We support new diagnostic laboratories, biopharma and biotech teams launching LDTs or companion diagnostics, international laboratories entering the US market, and academic groups moving research assays into clinical testing.

PacificDx, our own laboratory, is CLIA certified, CAP accredited and licensed in four states, so our advice comes from going through inspections ourselves.
