Bio-Rad Laboratories QC Data Management Solutions Unity Interlaboratory Reports There has never been a better time to be a member of the world s largest QC peer group program. Bio-Rad drives innovation in the development of Quality Control for the clinical laboratory and we re raising the bar again. It s time to take a fresh look at your Unity peer reports. Redesigned formats make them easier than ever to read. The addition of color, graphics and statistical information allows you to interpret your data with ease, enabling prompt action to potential problems. Condensed report formats require fewer pages and view equally well printed in color or black and white. NEW Unity Interlaboratory Program Reports Feature: Logical arrangement of data provides a quick and more intuitive read Data consolidation and imagery simplifies interpretation of lab data Condensed report formats conserve paper and printing costs Please review the following pages for more information about individual reports, the redesigned format, and more importantly, their new look and content. Visit QCNet.com for more information and status updates on Unity Interlaboratory Reports.
