Achieving Clinical NGS Laboratory Excellence through College of American Pathologists (CAP) Laboratory Accreditation Program in Vietnam and Beyond

We are delighted to announce an important milestone: Medical Genetics JSC, a subsidiary of Gene Solutions group, has become an accredited Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) laboratory in Vietnam by the prestigious College of American Pathologists (CAP). This accreditation signifies our compliance with the highest standards in laboratory testing, particularly in the category of high complexity testing as per CLIA or CAP guidelines in the United States.

CAP’s Laboratory Accreditation Program is designed to ensure the highest standards of laboratory quality and accuracy through its stringent standards and comprehensive audit processes (1). During this rigorous evaluation, laboratories undergo thorough inspections of their records, quality control procedures, staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety programs, and overall management. Pursuing CAP accreditation signifies a laboratory’s dedication to quality and proficiency, going beyond the listed requirements of CLIA.

By meeting CAP’s stringent criteria and achieving CAP accreditation, we join an exclusive group of over 8,000 laboratories worldwide known for their excellence in laboratory medicine and pathology.⁽¹⁾
