Project Management
We manage and undertake many various Clinical and Scientific projects in TB
Ongoing ProjectsTrainings
We offer trainings over QMS, TB Diagnostiics, and Laboratory Management
Scientific Validation
Contact us to arrange external quality assessment of microscopy and DST (panel testing)
Contact UsWe are one of the largest mycobacteriological diagnostic centers in Europe and WHO Supranational Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory. We combine practical experience with large numbers of diagnostic samples with practical and operational research in TB diagnostics and – as SRL partner – international collaboration with National Reference Laboratories in nine high-incidence, high-resistance countries.
