Quality assurance is a foundational element of reliable laboratory operations, supporting consistent results, regulatory compliance, and confidence in decision‑making. As laboratories manage increasing complexity and more stringent regulatory expectations, effective QA practices are essential to preventing errors and maintaining high standards across the entire workflow.
This resource offers a practical overview of quality assurance, outlining its purpose, core principles, and its distinction from quality control. It explains how proactive, process‑driven QA approaches help organizations safeguard quality throughout the lifecycle of products and services, rather than relying solely on end‑point checks. Key QA functions and best practices are highlighted, including audits, risk management, training, standardized procedures, and continuous improvement.
The paper also examines how digital QA solutions such as Instem’s eQCM™ strengthen quality systems by integrating controls directly into routine processes. By centralizing quality records, standardizing documentation, automating workflows, and enabling comprehensive traceability, eQCM helps laboratories streamline quality activities and maintain inspection readiness across regulated environments. Its flexible, configurable platform allows organizations to embed quality assurance into everyday operations, ensuring consistency and accountability at every step.
