• Description:
  Welcome to the Quality Assessment (QA) Manual for the folate microbiologic assay (MBA). This QA manual is specifically geared towards laboratories using the CDC folate MBA kit and complements the Folate Microbiologic Assay Training Manual. Whereas the training manual details the procedure of how to analyze samples with the folate MBA, this QA Manual provides additional information on sample collection, processing and storage; sample analysis and review; data reporting and external QA. A QA program ensures that the final results reported by the laboratory supervisor are accurate and of the highest quality. To achieve high quality results, full staff participation is required. QA addresses the following aspects: 1) avoidance of mistakes, 2) consistency of performance, 3) data integrity, and 4) opportunities for training.
