LuminoDx Achieves CAP Accreditation, Demonstrating Commitment to Highest Standards in Diagnostic Testing

LuminoDx today announced that its diagnostic testing facility has been awarded accreditation by the Accreditation Committee of the College of American Pathologists (CAP) following a comprehensive on-site inspection. This distinguished achievement confirms that the laboratory meets the most rigorous standards for quality, accuracy, and patient safety in laboratory medicine.

The LuminoDx facility is now part of an elite group of CAP-accredited laboratories worldwide.

Validated Excellence in Testing

CAP inspectors reviewed all aspects of the laboratory’s operations, including personnel qualifications, equipment maintenance, quality control procedures, safety programs, and overall management. The inspection process ensures compliance with thousands of specific checklist requirements.

“Receiving CAP accreditation is a tremendous honor and a critical validation of our team’s dedication,” said Yipeng Wang, CEO. “This accreditation demonstrates that LuminoDx operates at the highest level of precision and quality, giving our clinicians and patients complete confidence in the integrity of the diagnostic results we provide. It’s an assurance that we adhere to the global gold standard in laboratory practices.”

Impact on Patient Care and Diagnostics

The CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program is recognized by the U.S. federal government and is considered more stringent than the government’s own inspection program. Achieving this accreditation means LuminoDx provides diagnostic services that:

  • Ensure Accuracy: Minimize the chance of errors in testing through strict quality controls.
  • Meet Global Standards: Adhere to the latest, globally recognized best practices in laboratory medicine.
  • Support Clinicians: Provide reliable, reproducible results necessary for accurate patient diagnoses and treatment planning.

This accreditation covers liver health diagnostics which include HepatotrackTM, a Molecular Diagnostic liquid biopsy that is predictive of acute liver rejection post-liver transplant.

LuminoDx Announces CLIA Certification for San Diego Laboratory

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/

LuminoDx is pleased to announce that its San Diego laboratory has recently received Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certification.

CLIA certification, issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), is required for clinical laboratories to accept and test human samples for diagnostic purposes.

“This certification allows us to begin testing patient samples with our first liver health-related test, the Factor V assay,” said Yipeng Wang, co-founder and CEO of LuminoDx. “In the near future, we will also add a test to our CLIA menu that is predictive of liver rejection post-transplant. Having the ability to clinically validate Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs) enables us to expand our portfolio and support biotech and pharmaceutical companies in developing therapeutic solutions with validated, indication-specific tests.”

LuminoDx’s scientific founders, Gordon Vansant and Yipeng Wang, bring extensive technical and scientific expertise across a wide range of platforms. This includes developing assays and testing samples from both non-clinical and clinical studies to support therapeutic drug development, such as the analysis of nucleic acids, proteomics, and metabolomics. “Now, with CLIA validation of our GLP-compliant laboratory, we are equipped to analyze patient samples across multiple platforms and provide critical results to support patient decision-making,” said Gordon Vansant, CBO and co-founder of LuminoDx.
