Description:
In the ever-changing specialties of immunohistochemistry and molecular diagnostics, it has become increasingly important to understand the regulatory implications of the assays we bring into the laboratory. This webcast presentation will introduce the different regulatory bodies under which an anatomic pathology laboratory can be set up, such as, for example, CAP, CLIA, and GLP. This structure will depend on the work the laboratory does and the environment in which it operates. The session will also explain the differences in each type of regulatory body and where they apply.
