Quality Assurance

Mexico City – September 20, 2026 -- The Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP) has awarded full accreditation to Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán (INCMNSZ), making it the first of Mexico's 13 National Institutes of Health under the Mexican Ministry of Health to reach this status.

INCMNSZ becomes only the second organization in Mexico to earn AAHRPP accreditation, joining a global roster that now exceeds 600 accredited entities. AAHRPP separately confirmed reaccreditation for five additional organizations, underscoring continued renewal activity within its existing accredited network.

Indianapolis – September 16, 2026 -- Crystal Risotti, Senior Manager of Validation in Quality Assurance at CTI, has been named a Pinnacle Professional of the Year by The Inner Circle for her three-decade career in information technology quality assurance and regulatory compliance across pharmaceuticals, medical devices and clinical laboratories.

Risotti built her career from clinical trial lab work in 1990 to enterprise-wide compliance leadership

Risotti entered the pharmaceutical industry in 1990 as a clinical trials laboratory worker before moving through customer service, project management, training and Tier 4 help desk roles. She later specialized in software development life cycle consultation, 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, and electronic quality management system implementation, working remotely from Indianapolis, Indiana while based at CTI's Covington, Kentucky office.

Miami – September 9, 2026 -- BioEdge Research Labs has begun publishing batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (COAs) directly on its product pages, allowing laboratory customers to verify identity and purity data for the exact lot they receive rather than relying on aggregated supplier summaries.

Each lot now carries its own matched documentation

Instead of a single certificate applied across multiple production runs, every vial supplied by the Miami-based company is assigned a lot number tied to a corresponding COA, letting researchers cross-check the physical material against its specific record.

Independent labs handle identity and purity testing

The underlying analysis is conducted by a third-party laboratory rather than BioEdge itself, covering identity verification via mass spectrometry, purity assessment via high-performance liquid chromatography, and contaminant screening.
