[title] => CAP Certification – The International Gold Standard for Laboratory Quality
[description] => n modern medicine, laboratory testing is no longer just a supplementary tool but a critical factor in diagnosing and treating patients. However, a common misconception is that the quality of laboratory tests mainly depends on advanced equipment, test kits, or highly skilled technicians — as many facilities currently promote.
[content] =>
In reality, no single factor can guarantee accurate test results without being part of a comprehensive quality management system. Every stage — from sample collection and processing to analysis and reporting — must operate in a synchronized, controlled, and traceable manner. This system is the true foundation that ensures test results are accurate, consistent, and reliable. This is especially crucial in the field of genetic testing, where even the smallest error can lead to serious consequences for the patient, making a tightly managed system an absolute necessity.
True Quality Comes from a Structured and Unified Operational System
Dr. Nguyen Quang Vinh – Director, GENTIS Laboratory Center
Test results are not simply the output of machines or test kits; they are the outcome of a complex, interconnected process — from input sample evaluation and standardized analysis protocols (PCR, sequencing, NGS), to internationally-aligned data interpretation and practical clinical reporting. Every step serves as a quality control checkpoint, and a single mistake can have serious implications for diagnosis and treatment.
Furthermore, laboratory quality is enhanced through the diversity of equipment and the application of advanced technologies that effectively handle the wide range of complexities in modern medicine. Relying on a single technology, test kit, or device is an outdated approach and no longer suitable for building a high-quality testing system.
Establishing a comprehensive quality management system not only minimizes risks but also fosters strong trust among laboratories, physicians, and patients. When processes are tightly controlled, results are accurate, consistent, and traceable — key criteria that physicians rely on for treatment decisions and that give patients confidence in their test outcomes.
CAP – The Gold Standard in Laboratory Quality Management
Dr. Pham Dinh Minh – Director of R&D, GENTIS (Left) with CAP Representative at GENTIS Laboratory
The CAP (College of American Pathologists) certification is recognized globally as the gold standard in clinical laboratory quality. To earn this certification, laboratories must meet stringent requirements and establish a comprehensive quality management system aligned with international standards. This includes participation in regular external quality assessments, expert evaluations, complete data traceability, and continuous quality improvement.
The CAP standard does not assess equipment or personnel in isolation, but evaluates the entire laboratory operation. Everything from standard operating procedures, sample control, technical performance validation, result analysis, to traceability and incident handling — all must meet the highest benchmarks. As a result, a CAP-certified quality system ensures high accuracy, complete transparency, and maximum patient safety.
Another advantage of CAP certification is its support in effectively applying ISO standards in Vietnam by supplementing them with specialized technical requirements. The integration of CAP with ISO 15189 creates a comprehensive framework that enhances both operational efficiency and technical quality. Vietnamese laboratories achieving CAP certification not only meet global standards but also improve practical operations and result accuracy.
“CAP standards bring tangible value to many stakeholders. For doctors, CAP certification is a key factor that ensures confidence in test accuracy, helping them personalize treatment plans, shorten diagnosis time, and reduce retesting — saving time and cost for patients. For customers, testing at a CAP-certified lab means access to a modern, reliable, internationally compatible system — especially beneficial for patients seeking treatment abroad, as results are widely recognized without the need for retesting. High-quality results also reduce errors and enhance peace of mind in healthcare. In addition, partners working with CAP-certified labs like Gentis gain opportunities for sample exchange, data sharing, clinical research, and providing international-standard services, expanding collaboration and development in the medical field,” shared Dr. Pham Dinh Minh (Director of CAP Laboratory, Gentis - Eurofins).

[title] => CAP Standards and Experience in Building a Laboratory
[description] => Two guest experts at the talk show themed “CAP Standards and Experience in Building a Laboratory” were Prof. Dr. Tran Duc Phan - Chairman of the Vietnam Society of Medical Genetics and Dr. Pham Dinh Minh - Director of R&D at GENTIS.
In modern medical testing, especially in the field of genetics, quality management plays a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of results. The CAP (College of American Pathologists) standard is one of the strictest quality management systems today, requiring meticulous control from sample collection to analysis and result reporting. Applying CAP standards helps improve professional capacity, standardize testing procedures, minimize errors, and increase the internationalization of results, bringing tangible benefits to both clinical doctors and patients.

Two guest experts at the talk show themed "CAP Standards and Experience in Building a Laboratory" were Prof. Dr. Tran Duc Phan - Chairman of the Vietnam Society of Medical Genetics and Dr. Pham Dinh Minh - Director of R&D at GENTIS.
Quality Management - The Foundation for Accurate Testing
Quality management in medical testing plays an essential role in ensuring accurate results for patients. This process not only guarantees the output quality but also includes a strict control and processing system from sample collection, preservation, analysis, to result reporting and consultation. In genetic testing, the importance of quality management becomes even more vital. Prof. Dr. Tran Duc Phan - Chairman of the Vietnam Society of Medical Genetics shared: “This is a field where even a small mistake in the process can lead to serious consequences, not just for the individual patient but also for their family. Unlike other tests that can vary depending on physical condition or timing, genetic information is immutable—meaning a wrong result can lead to a cascade of errors in consultation, diagnosis, or future treatment directions. Therefore, building a comprehensive quality management system not only helps minimize errors but also lays the foundation to build trust between the laboratory, treating doctors, and patients. A laboratory system controlled from input to output ensures accuracy, consistency, and traceability. These are core factors to support effective treatment and ensure patient safety.”
The Role and Benefits of CAP Standards
Among the quality management systems currently applied, CAP standards stand out due to their level of detail and depth, especially in genetics and molecular biology. Established and managed by the College of American Pathologists (USA), CAP is recognized as one of the strictest standards today, requiring synchronized control of equipment, operational processes, personnel capacity, and result quality. Dr. Pham Dinh Minh (Director of R&D at GENTIS - one of the genetic testing units certified by CAP) shared: “CAP standards not only focus on technical criteria but also require laboratories to build an effective internal quality control system (IQCP) and regularly participate in external quality control with international organizations. For genetic tests, this standard covers every stage: from sample collection and quality control to analysis, interpretation, and clinical reporting. These are essential requirements for genetic testing, where accuracy must be maintained absolutely and results need to reach the highest reliability. Achieving CAP certification means the laboratory can provide internationally recognized results, accepted in countries that apply equivalent standards. This not only enhances professional credibility but also expands the opportunities for international collaboration, sample exchange, and data sharing with foreign healthcare entities.”
The Journey of Building and Achieving CAP Certification
Sharing about the process of achieving CAP certification, Dr. Minh mentioned that it was not an easy journey. In Vietnam, several units have pioneered pursuing this standard and achieved impressive results after a preparation period of more than 18 months. During this period, laboratories had to re-establish their entire internal control process according to the IQCP model and participate in regular external quality control as per CAP’s prescribed frequency. All operational processes, technical documentation, and test data had to be standardized according to CAP requirements. It wasn’t just about investing in equipment and infrastructure; the key factor in this journey was the people. CAP requires laboratories to have a highly skilled workforce, especially genetic counselors and genetic doctors who can analyze data and provide accurate advice to treating doctors. Additionally, since the entire system works and communicates with CAP using specialized English, language proficiency became a significant obstacle, requiring key personnel to receive proper training and continuously update their knowledge - Dr. Pham Dinh Minh shared his practical experiences in GENTIS’s journey to CAP certification. The final result was an internationally certified testing system with tight risk control, efficient operation, transparency, and readiness to integrate into the global healthcare ecosystem. “After achieving CAP certification, GENTIS has had the opportunity to work with other CAP-certified laboratories from Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia. This expands collaboration opportunities and enhances Vietnam’s position on the regional and global map,” Dr. Minh shared.
What Benefits Do Partners and Clients Gain?
CAP standards create practical and direct value for stakeholders, especially clinical doctors, patients, and domestic and international medical partners. Prof. Dr. Tran Duc Phan shared: “For doctors, CAP provides trust in the test results—a crucial foundation for making accurate treatment decisions, personalizing protocols, and shortening the diagnosis time. When the results are highly reliable, doctors will reduce the need for retesting, saving time and costs for patients. For service users, being tested in a CAP-certified laboratory means they are accessing a standardized, reliable testing system with international compatibility. This is particularly meaningful for patients planning treatment abroad, as results from CAP-certified laboratories are often accepted in many countries without the need to retest. Furthermore, high quality also means a reduced risk of treatment errors, minimized additional costs, and enhanced peace of mind throughout the healthcare process.” In addition to doctors and patients, partners collaborating with CAP-certified laboratories also benefit: “For partners, collaborating with a CAP-certified laboratory like GENTIS opens up the possibility of data exchange, sample sharing, conducting clinical research, or providing testing services according to international standards,” Dr. Pham Dinh Minh added.
CAP standards are not only a quality evaluation system but also a strategic tool that enhances professional reputation, expands international collaboration opportunities, and—most importantly—creates real value for patients, doctors, and the entire healthcare system. In the current trend of integration and precision medicine, building a CAP-certified laboratory is a significant step forward, affirming the position of Vietnamese healthcare on the international stage.

[title] => GENTIS Launches Advanced Obstetrics and Pediatrics Genetic Testing Methods at the 2nd Expanded Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Scientific Conference 2025
[description] => On May 30–31, GENTIS was honored to accompany the 2nd Expanded Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Scientific Conference 2025 as a sponsor. In addition to offering engaging activities and attractive gifts at its exhibition booth, GENTIS also showcased its most advanced genetic testing solutions in the field of Obstetrics and Pediatrics. The eye-catching GENTIS booth attracted significant interest from many delegates who stopped by to explore and engage with the team.

At this year’s Obstetrics and Pediatrics event, GENTIS introduced a wide range of advanced genetic testing methods to the conference, including GEN9, 77 IEMs, biotinidase deficiency screening (SLSS), and notably, three new PGT packages: PGT-M for over 100 rare diseases, PGT NEXT, and PGT UPGRADE.
One of the standout features of the PGT-M 100+ test at GENTIS is its ability to detect more than 100 monogenic (single-gene) inherited disorders with high accuracy. By applying next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology in combination with family-specific marker design, PGT-M 100+ can precisely identify even the smallest DNA variants—factors that could potentially lead to disease. This allows the identification of embryos free of disease-causing genes, increasing the chances of a healthy baby. In addition to cutting-edge technology, the PGT-M service at GENTIS is supported by a team of experienced genetic counselors who provide comprehensive guidance before, during, and after testing.
PGT NEXT is a preimplantation genetic screening method that detects aneuploidy across all 24 chromosomes and identifies chromosomal segmental gains or losses. It can also detect embryos with polyploidy or monoploidy—conditions often excluded due to suspected fertilization abnormalities (such as 0PN, 1PN, 2.1PN, 3PN). By analyzing the entire genome with NGS and SNP genotyping, PGT NEXT increases the accuracy of chromosomal abnormality detection and ensures correct kinship identification among embryos in the same batch, thereby minimizing the risk of sample mix-ups due to handling errors.
PGT UPGRADE is an advanced version of preimplantation genetic testing, capable of detecting aneuploidy across all 24 chromosomes and identifying segmental chromosomal abnormalities larger than 5 Mb. Notably, this test can also detect balanced translocations—genetic abnormalities that may be inherited from either parent, which do not necessarily manifest as disease but can affect reproductive health in future generations. PGT UPGRADE provides in-depth genetic information, helping to optimize embryo selection and increasing the chances of successful pregnancy and healthy offspring.
GEN9 is a pre-marital or pre-pregnancy genetic screening test that detects 9 autosomal recessive genetic disorders, including: Alpha-Thalassemia, Beta-Thalassemia, G6PD deficiency, Phenylketonuria, Galactose metabolism disorder, Citrin deficiency-related jaundice, Pompe disease, Wilson disease, 5-alpha reductase deficiency type 2, and Fabry disease. GEN9 evaluates the risk of parents passing on genetic disorders to their children and provides reproductive support to eliminate disease-causing genes.
The 77 IEMs and SLSS biotinidase deficiency tests are two critical newborn screening methods performed shortly after birth to detect congenital disorders early. The 77 IEMs test identifies over 70 different metabolic disorders, including amino acid, fatty acid, and organic acid metabolism disorders. Meanwhile, the SLSS test detects biotinidase deficiency, a vital enzyme in biotin metabolism. Both tests play an essential role in identifying conditions that may not present obvious symptoms initially. Early diagnosis allows timely medical intervention, reducing the risk of severe complications and improving newborn health outcomes.
The GENTIS exhibition booth attracted significant attention from delegates and attendees. At the booth, doctors’ questions regarding GENTIS genetic testing services were thoroughly and clearly addressed. Notably, healthcare professionals expressed high appreciation for GENTIS’s genetic testing solutions in the field of obstetrics and pediatrics.
Through this event, GENTIS hopes to continue partnering with doctors, specialists, hospitals, and clinics on the journey to make accurate, timely genetic testing more accessible to Vietnamese people. With a mission to contribute to improving the physical and intellectual well-being of the Vietnamese population, GENTIS is committed to continuously updating, researching, and developing genetic testing services to enhance the quality of screening and healthcare in the community.

[title] => GENTIS demonstrates its commitment to community responsibility through the journey of a french director searching for his birth mother in Vietnam
[description] => On May 21, 2025, a heartwarming story came to a close with an emotional reunion hug after 31 years of separation: French-Vietnamese filmmaker Arthur Chareire found his biological mother, Ms. Nguyễn Thị Hợi, in Vietnam. This miraculous journey was not only the result of Arthur's determination to reconnect with his roots, but also thanks to a silent yet pivotal factor: the support of GENTIS — a pioneer in genetics that facilitated the DNA testing between Arthur and his mother. GENTIS’s involvement in this journey is a clear testament to the company’s commitment to community responsibility — one of the core values it has always upheld and pursued.
[content] =>
A Journey Spanning Over Three Decades and the Longing to Say “Mom”
Arthur Chareire was born in 1994 at Bạch Mai Hospital in Hanoi. Just a few days after birth, the baby named Vũ Văn Dậu — Arthur’s birth name — was adopted by a French family. Though raised in a loving home, Arthur always felt an unfillable void: the absence of the woman who gave birth to him in Vietnam. Driven by a deep yearning to return to his origins, Arthur began a sacred quest to find his biological mother. He shared his personal information, birth certificate, and photos on social media in the hopes of finding a clue.
His post quickly went viral and eventually reached Ms. Nguyễn Thị Hợi — a woman who had given birth around the same time at Bạch Mai Hospital. After multiple conversations and verification of the details, the two decided to proceed with a DNA test to confirm their biological relationship. This was the moment when GENTIS joined the filmmaker in his sacred journey.
GENTIS — A DNA Testing Organization That Puts People First
Colonel Hà Quốc Khanh, former Deputy Director of the Institute of Criminal Science under the Ministry of Public Security and Senior Advisor at GENTIS, announced the DNA test results.
With nearly 15 years of experience in genetic testing, GENTIS is recognized as one of Vietnam’s most trusted institutions for paternity, genetic, and prenatal screenings. However, for GENTIS, testing is more than a scientific service — it is a means to serve higher values: truth, family, and justice. Understanding the emotional significance of this journey, GENTIS proactively covered all testing costs for Arthur and Ms. Hợi — a gesture that clearly reflects the company’s commitment to the community and to those in need of reconnection, guided by compassion rather than limited by finances.
The DNA testing process was carried out by GENTIS with absolute accuracy and in strict adherence to international standards. The GENTIS team analyzed and compared Arthur and Ms. Hợi’s DNA samples in a modern, transparent laboratory setting. Just a few days later, the result was revealed: they are indeed mother and son.
More Than a Test — A Mission
Ms. Nguyễn Thị Hợi, biological mother of French director Arthur Chareire, provides her DNA sample at GENTIS.
Arthur and his mother’s story is not unique. Every year in Vietnam, thousands of people long to reunite with their birth parents, and countless parents hold onto hope of seeing a lost child again. In these emotional and often challenging journeys, GENTIS plays a role beyond just providing DNA testing services — it becomes a bridge of humanity, supporting compassion and reunion.
For GENTIS, community responsibility goes beyond accurate results — it’s reflected in meaningful actions such as offering free or discounted services for those in difficult circumstances and sharing scientific knowledge transparently and accessibly. With dedication and empathy, GENTIS believes that every DNA sample is not just a string of genetic code, but a chance to heal lives, reignite hope, and continue writing stories of heartfelt reunions.
The Journey Is Not Over — A Future of Reconnection
Arthur is expected to return to Vietnam in November 2025 to meet his mother in person, following their first reunion via video call. He shared, “I don’t blame my mother. On the contrary, I am grateful that she gave me life. Thank you, GENTIS, for giving me the certainty to call someone ‘Mom’ again without doubt.”
Arthur’s story is a powerful example of how technology, guided by compassion, can create profound meaning. And GENTIS is proud to walk alongside these sacred moments, serving as a bridge for millions of hearts searching for each other across life’s many crossroads.
