How Do You Manage Your Laboratory Quality System?

  • Annual Quality System Plan
  • Procedure for Reviewing the Quality System and Plan
  • Developing a quality system for your laboratory requires strong organizational support and resources to maintain a quality plan.

    One of the key elements to a successful quality system is maintaining policy, process and procedure documents for implementing and reviewing the quality system.

    Meeting inspection requirements can be a complex and time consuming process for many laboratories. But, as a Beckman Coulter customer, you can have a big head start!

    To help automate the management and review process of a quality system, Beckman Coulter is offering, as an authorized distributor, a comprehensive software solution called Quality Link* software by Quality Mapping Solutions*. This software solution provides an engine to manage your data and documentation necessary for inspection requirements.
