Colaborate is a full-service laboratory consulting firm specializing in CAP, CLIA and COLA compliance. Laboratories that test human samples are mandated by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) to meet a strict set of federal requirements when operating their laboratory.
The Commission on Office Laboratory Accreditation (COLA) is an accreditation that covers CLIA requirements at a minimum, but offers additional protocols based on your laboratory’s needs. Our CAP, COLA and CLIA lab consultants can help you identify which accreditation is best suited for your lab.
