Established in 1982, CMPT provides EQA challenges for Microbiology Testing Laboratories across Canada and globally.

The CMPT laboratory cultures live organisms, formulates proficiency testing challenges, ships challenge sets to clients and grades the challenges for clients for their quality assurance. Samples are realistic and modeled on clinical specimens, often incorporate complex flora, and to the extent possible, look and act like true samples, so that they can be handled and processed as usual as possible. The CMPT EQA program is accredited to ISO 9001 and 17043.
