Laboratory INVITRO Sigma Verification of Performance

In 2016, INVITRO Laboratories became the first (and largest) private laboratory in Russia to achieve the Verification of Performance. (Sigma VP). More than 40 analytes of two of their chemistry instruments were verified. In 2017, they re-verified this performance. In 2018, they expanded their verification to 4 other labs across Russia, encompassing 129 assays.

INVITRO Laboratories - Sigma Verification of Performance

Verified since September 27th, 2016
Duration of Verification: November 1st 2019 through December 31st 2020

In 2016, Westgard QC was pleased to verify the performance of more than 45 assays at INVITRO, the largest private medical company in Russia.

INVITRO announcement

INVITRO has 9 modern labs and owns the biggest network in Eastern Europe with over 900 medical offices in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Belarus. It was the first laboratory in Russia to obtain ISO 15189:2012 certification and ISO 9001:2011 (ISO 9001:2008). It participates in international external quality assurance programs that include FSVOK (Russia), EQAS - USA, and RIQAS - UK.

This pilot verification assessed the performance of two of their main core laboratory biochemistry instruments, the c8000 mid-volume chemistry analyzer and the c16000 high volume chemistry analyzer

In 2018, INVITRO expanded their pilot programs to 4 other branches in their network, further expanding to 5 branches in 2019.
