CAP Histocompatibility Surveys
The critical nature of histocompatibility testing necessitates that your laboratory continually evaluate its performance and stay current with new testing practices.
The CAP Histocompatibility Surveys provide the most comprehensive programs to help you evaluate your testing performance and maintain the most accurate level of patient testing.
CAP specimens provide a great variety of HLA antigens including uncommon antigens, representing a diverse range of ethnic backgrounds to help you evaluate your performance and ensure accurate patient results.
