Invitae receives accreditation for its laboratory from the College of American Pathologists

SAN FRANCISCO, December 2, 2014 – Invitae Corporation, a genetic information company, announced that it has received accreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP). 

The CAP accreditation is awarded to facilities that meet the highest standards of quality in laboratory services. According to the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation, the U.S. government recognizes the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, which began in the early 1960s, as being equal-to or more-stringent-than the government’s own inspection program. 

During the CAP accreditation process, inspectors perform an on-site inspection and examine the laboratory’s records and quality control of procedures for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and records, as well as overall management. 

"Receiving CAP accreditation is an important recognition of our laboratory as we continue to advance our goal to aggregate most of the world's genetic tests into a single service with higher quality, faster turnaround time and lower price than many single-gene tests today," said Martin Powers, MD, lab director at Invitae. 

With this recognition, the Invitae laboratory joins the prestigious ranks of CAP-accredited facilities worldwide.
