Quality Assurance
Our Quality Management System is based on regularly performed internal as well as external Quality Assessment Schemes. As a
consequence, we have established quality procedures which not only comply with the highest quality standards but which also
guarantee a continuous improvement of our quality procedures. Since the establishment of our laboratory in the year 2000 one
of our most important quality control procedures is the regular participation at the ring trials of the Association of German
Human Genetics Laboratories e.V. (BVDH e.V.).
Department of Cytogenetics
On regularly basis the internal cytogenetics standards in the pre- and post- natal area are assessed with the participation
of ring trials of the BVDH e.V.. The assessment schemes comprises the speed of the examination as well as the resolution of
the chromosomal preparations. In the year 2005 and 2006 our laboratory was rated among the 10 best laboratories in Germany
with regards to speed of examination and quality of chromosomal analysis. In the year 2006 our laboratory was invited
by the BVDH e.V. to participate at the European Pilot Study of Cytogentics Quality Assurance.
Department of Molecular Genetics
The Department of Molecular Genetics successfully participates on regular basis at the ring trials of the European Network of
Cystic Fibrosis, of the German Society of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (DGKL), the ring trials of the
Association of German Human Genetics Laboratories e.V. (BVDH e.V.), and the ring trials of the Society for Promotion of the
Quality Assurance of Medical Laboratories (INSTAND e.V)
Dakks-Accreditation
Our Laboratory is accredited by the "Dakks" (Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH). All Molecular Genetic and
Cytogenetic examinations as well as all examinations for Paternity Testing are accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and DIN EN ISO 15189:2007.
