Calibration Verification/Linearity (LN46)

Calibration verification/linearity (CVL) programs are an important element of a

laboratory’s quality management plan to ensure instruments are performing at optimal
levels. This two-part assessment allows you to identify instrument calibration issues or
changes in instrument performance across the analytical measurement range (AMR) to
help ensure accurate patient results.
The CAP is your trusted calibration verification and linearity partner, providing you with
the most comprehensive menu of programs.
• Large peer groups—Maximize confidence in instrument calibration by using peer group
data for a broader view beyond your laboratory.
• Customized report package—Let our team of biostatisticians perform the statistical
analysis of your results so you do not have to.
• Expedited results—View your linearity evaluation for most CVL programs within two
business days of data submission.
Choose from the broadest offering of analytes with programs across multiple disciplines.
