ICLAS Network for Promotion of Animal Quality in Research
Performance Evaluation Program for Diagnostic Laboratories (PEP)
PEP Network member laboratories prepare standardized specimens and samples
and send them for analysis to any diagnostic laboratory (participating
laboratories) wishing to participate in the program.
The results obtained are compared to the actual biological contents of the
specimens/samples as detailed in an ‘Expected Results’ report sent later by
the PEP network laboratory. This comparison is used to indicate the accuracy
of the participating laboratory’s monitoring and diagnostic techniques.
The program is one of self-assessment as participating laboratories are not
required to submit any reports of their results to ICLAS or any other
agency.
While evaluation is self assessed, participating laboratories are encouraged
to report any differences between their analysis and the stated sample
content to enable the network laboratory to monitor its own accuracy in the
production of samples.
Available Programs:
·
Species: Mice and Rats

Serology: 1 annual shipment of 10 specimens
