Ensuring Accuracy and Reliability
Ensuring Accuracy and Reliability.
At Elmi Laboratories, we ensure the accuracy and reliability of blood test results by applying various actions including:
- By employing qualified professionals: The blood tests are collected only by trained phlebotomists or healthcare providers experienced in venipuncture and processed by HCPC-registered Biomedical Scientists or clinical scientists. Their expertise reduces the chances of errors and complications.
- At Elmi Laboratories, we use Sterile Equipment: Using sterile needles, collection tubes, and other equipment is crucial to prevent contamination and ensure accurate results.
- Proper Identification: We also use accurate labelling of blood samples with patient information, which is essential to avoid sample mix-ups, which can have severe consequences for diagnosis and treatment.
- Quality Control: Elmi Laboratories maintain stringent quality control measures to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of test results when processing blood samples. This is also vital for the Elmi Laboratories to follow ISO standards and obtain UKAS accreditation.
Laboratory Information Management System

Elmi Laboratories LIMS serves as a central hub for organising, tracking, and documenting laboratory activities such as booking samples, tracking test turnaround times, and reporting test results remotely and securely so the requested clinicians can access their reports wherever they are around the world. This allows Elmi Laboratories to enhance efficiency, data accuracy, and regulatory compliance.
