National Reference Laboratory (NRL), part of Mubadala’s network of world-class healthcare providers, has announced that with a total of six CAP-accredited laboratories in its network, NRL is now the largest, referral CAP-accredited laboratory network in the Middle East.
Clinical laboratory testing is an essential part in the delivery of quality healthcare with 70-80% of medical decisions made based on tests ordered to diagnose, treat, manage, and monitor a patient’s condition. This latest recognition of NRL’s services ensures that the region has even wider access to the highest quality testing, tailored to the specific healthcare needs of the region....
NanoSight, leading manufacturers of unique nanoparticle characterization technology, reports on the work of Principal Scientist Dr Damian Marshall and his colleagues at LGC as they develop new methods for characterizing new nanoscale reference materials
LGC is the UK's designated National Measurement Institute for chemical and bioanalytical measurement, the National Reference Laboratory for a range of key areas, and is also the host organisation for the UK's Government Chemist function. The potential for nanotechnology to improve human health and aid diagnostic and medical procedures can only be realised if nanomaterials, particularly those for use in nanomedicine applications and consumer products, can be used with no toxic effects. LGC is developing a standardized panel of reference nanomaterials to enable the development of traceable methods for improved in vitro toxicity measurement for safety assessment...
