Are there other analytical tools to help assess and strengthen quality standards?
ASBC offers analytical reference materials as an additional way for laboratories to check their accuracy. Values have been determined for the analytical reference materials through collaborative method studies. Laboratories can purchase analytical reference materials as needed; they are not available as a subscription.
