Marketing Your Laboratory's Quality
Laboratory of Excellence Program
APG recently began a new program to recognize laboratories that pass 100% of their analytes in a PT Study by awarding them a Laboratory of Excellence Certificate. The personalized Laboratory of Excellence Certificate lists your organization's name, APG's Laboratory of Excellence Seal and the analytes that you passed. This is great recognition for your laboratory when a client, state officer or upper management notices it. The Laboratory of Excellence Certificate is also a valuable sales tool when your Laboratory of Excellence status is promoted by your marketing department.

If your lab has been awarded a Laboratory of Excellence Certificate and would like to display the logo on your website, please send us an email at excellence@apgqa.com. We will provide you with a personalized graphic that can be used on your website, or other promotional materials.
