Laboratory plays a pivotal role in disease control and prevention program by providing timely data or information for patient management and disease surveillance. [1] Quality in the laboratory has huge impact on diagnosis and patient management as about 80%[2] of all diagnoses is made on the basis of laboratory tests.[3] Objectives: To compare the semi-annual performance of the laboratory by using the Laboratory Quality Indicators. Methods: It is a Library Research Methodology, in which the analysis
Safety in school labs Safety remains one of the key elements in modern school labs; it is necessary for the staff to ensure the safety of all the lab users.

The literature review was done to gather the information about the most common source of error in the medical laboratory. The majority of errors come from the pre-analytical phase that is considered the basis for all laboratory works. Pre-pre-analytic and true pre-analytic are two areas of the pre-analytical phase (Plebani, 2012). Test selection, patient identification, sample collection, preparation and handling are part of the pre-pre-analytical process, while storing, pipetting and centrifugation
