Quality Control is defined as an organized system of activities whose purpose is to demonstrate that quality data are being produced through documentation. Quality Assurance is more broadly defined as a system of activities designed to ensure that the quality control program is actually effective in producing data of the desired quality.

Quality Control is included as part of Quality Assurance. In supporting government regulatory and enforcement proceedings, a high degree of attention to quality is essential. Thorough application of quality control principles and routine quality assurance audits are required.

Mitkem Laboratories management considers Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) to be of the highest importance in the success of its analytical testing laboratory and ensures this success through a sound and thorough Quality Assurance Program.

The basic components of the Mitkem Laboratories QA/QC Program are planning, measurement, evaluation, and corrective action. For further information please contact us or call to speak with our QA/QC department directly.
