Microbiological Diagnostics Assessment Service

Abstract image

The Microbiological Diagnostics Assessment Service undertakes evaluations and reviews on diagnostic kits, equipment and healthcare products relevant to microbiology.

Our work is carried out in association with the Centre for Evidence Based Purchasing (CEP ), the National Blood Service (NBS) and the World Health Organisation (WHO). We also undertake evaluations for manufacturers. Evaluations are either undertaken at the HPA's Centre for Infections or at other HPA or NHS sites.

The Microbiological Diagnostics Assessment Service is one of 4 units within the Evaluations and Standards Laboratory at the HPA's Centre for Infections. The other three units develop National Standard methods, Quality Control Reagents, and Quality Systems.
