for research animal diagnostic laboratories to help ensure uniformity of diagnostic testing. All of us who are involved in health monitoring of laboratory animals recognize the importance of accurately assessing the health of animals to be used in biomedical research.

It simply represents institutions and companies that operate research animal diagnostic laboratories and are committed to high-quality testing of laboratory animals. This group has met on several occasions to set goals, establish priorities, and begin to organize the framework for a comprehensive performance assessment program.

Fees will be assessed from participating laboratories to recover costs associated with production and shipment of test specimens and collection and analysis of test reports. As soon as this PAP is operational, results obtained from laboratories participating in the program should yield uniform testing results among diagnostic laboratories and provide users confidence in testing results.

From page 10... ...
We anticipate that this program will be available to diagnostic laboratories worldwide by 2001 and that this program will benefit the entire laboratory animal and biomedical research communities by ensuring uniform testing capabilities among participating diagnostic laboratories. We believe that joint efforts between diagnostic laboratories and laboratory animal veterinarians and professionals can achieve the common goal of healthy animals being used in biomedical research.
