A Comprehensive Approach<\/h3>\n

The Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) has established and implemented a quality management system that includes quality assurance<\/strong><\/span> and quality control<\/strong><\/span> practices for targeted and untargeted molecular omics\u00a0studies to ensure reproducible measurements and data standardization among different instrumentation platforms. In addition, the Center has experience participating in cross-laboratory validation studies<\/a>. Our subject-matter experts have\u00a0over 50 years of combined experience<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0in mass spectrometry, data analysis, and informatics pipelines.<\/p>\n

Finally, we regularly review scientific literature and\u00a0metabolomics Quality Assurance and Quality Control Consortium (mQACC)<\/a>\u00a0guidelines for metabolomics research and reporting as they become available. \u00a0The Consortium\u2019s recommendations are incorporated into our comprehensive\u00a0Quality Management System<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0and reviewed regularly for updates or changes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

Quality Assurance (QA)<\/h3>\n

Quality assurance allows us to ensure that methods are designed in such way they result in high-quality outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
