As the healthcare industry increasingly prioritizes accuracy and safety in laboratory testing—particularly in genetic tests such as PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) and NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing)—adherence to international quality control standards has become essential to ensure reliability and transparency of results.
