List of NGSP Certified Laboratories (updated 03/00)
The NGSP has certified the following laboratories as having documented traceability to the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial Reference Method. Laboratories are awarded Certificates of Traceability for successfully completing precision and bias testing using specific methods, reagent lots, calibrator lots and instrumentation. Traceability to the DCCT applies only to results from fresh blood samples unless otherwise specified. Analysis of processed (e.g. lyophilized) material may be subject to matrix effects and any comparisons to the DCCT using results from processed specimens should be made with caution.
