PROTOCOLS AND PROCEDURES All samples submitted to NAMSA are tested according to established written standard operating procedures, or specific protocols or study plans, as appropriate. Samples are assigned a sequential lab control number which is used on all associated raw data sheets, log books, laboratory notebooks, and NAMSA laboratory reports. Traceability and test status are maintained and tracked through these control numbers and systems of physical segregation. Strict laboratory quality guidelines are followed to assure valid data. Each step of laboratory operations is carefully controlled to assure accurate and reliable testing programs. Original data are recorded in ink on signed, dated record forms or notebooks and are approved by supervisory personnel. Upon completion of a study, all data are stored in a central file in permanent archives. Clients are promptly notified of adverse test results by telephone or facsimile, without charge. Fees listed for each test include: One copy of the final report to a designated individual One copy of the final report and supporting data to NAMSA archives One invoice to a designated individual or department AUDITING AND REVIEW NAMSA has a robust internal audit program including process-based audits, facility audits, and testing-based audits from an independent quality assurance unit.
