Once again, the Scientific-Technical Service Platforms (PSCT) of the Sant Pau Research Institute and Sant Pau Hospital have successfully passed the ISO 9001 Quality Management System audit, demonstrating excellence in the provision of their services. The platforms currently included within the scope of certification are:
One of the objectives for 2024 is to expand the scope of certification to include the Proteomics Platform. Once achieved, IR-HSCSP will have all PSCT certified. In the case of the cleanroom, it holds the certification for Good Manufacturing Practices for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (NCF-MTA).
The PSCTs are structures that offer high-value-added services to researchers, both within the IR itself and from other institutions. The main goal of the PSCTs is to facilitate access to high-level techniques and technologies that may not be accessible to individual groups, as well as to provide services at a reduced cost for resource optimization (human resources and equipment). Additionally, the PSCTs provide support to researchers with optimized workflows and methods, advising them on technical and methodological aspects.
The PSCTs have a multidisciplinary team with many years of experience in their fields and possess technology knowledge to ensure the quality of services. They are characterized by their customer orientation and commitment to delivering results in short timelines.
They also facilitate direct contact between the client and the expert to address any doubts or issues that may arise during the experimentation process. The PSCTs can manage the entire process, from the initial sample to the acquisition of final results.
