Mohs lab equipment service & CLIA compliance
Your Mohs lab is a CLIA high-complexity laboratory — every instrument must be maintained, calibrated, and documented. BMCA keeps the whole bench compliant and your surgery days running.
// CLIA-ready Mohs labs
Keep your Mohs lab CLIA-certified — and surgery days running
A Mohs lab operates as a CLIA high-complexity laboratory. That means every instrument has to be maintained, calibrated, electrically safe, and documented — not just working. BMCA services the full Mohs bench and produces the records your CLIA inspection depends on, so a down cryostat never cancels a case and a survey never catches you unprepared.
We already keep the cryostats and compliance running for dermatology Mohs practices across Florida.
What we keep CLIA-ready
- CLIA high-complexity equipment documentation
- Cryostat PM, temperature verification & decon
- Calibration of centrifuges, pipettes & thermometers
- Electrical safety verification (NFPA 99)
- Staining, microtome & microscope service
- Refrigeration monitoring for reagents/specimens
- NIST-traceable certificates & on-instrument labels
- Records organized for CLIA / CAP survey day
// The Mohs bench
Every instrument serviced and documented
Cryostat
Frozen-section accuracy, temperature verification, and decontamination — documented for inspection.
Microtome
Sectioning precision and safety checks, with service records.
Staining line
H&E and special stains maintained and verified for consistent slide quality.
Microscope
Teaching and lab microscopes serviced so margin reading is reliable.
Refrigeration
Reagent and specimen cold storage monitored with calibrated probes.
Electrical safety
NFPA 99 verification on every powered unit in the lab.
// Why it matters
CLIA doesn't just want working equipment — it wants proof
CLIA requires documented equipment maintenance — kept on file for years
CLIA requires moderate- and high-complexity labs to maintain documented equipment maintenance and calibration records, retained for at least 2 years — and longer for many pathology records. Missing or incomplete maintenance documentation is one of the most common inspection deficiencies. It isn’t enough for your cryostat and instruments to work; your lab has to prove, on demand, that they’ve been maintained and calibrated on schedule.
BMCA produces and organizes those records for you — NIST-traceable certificates, service logs, and on-instrument labels — so the requirement is satisfied before a surveyor ever asks. State rules can be stricter than the federal minimum; we keep your documentation ready either way.
// Why it matters
CLIA doesn't just want working equipment — it wants proof
Mohs and dermatopathology testing is high-complexity under CLIA, which requires a Certificate of Compliance or Accreditation. Surveyors check that your cryostat, calibrated instruments, and electrical safety are current and documented. A working instrument with no records is still a finding. We close that gap — service plus documentation from one accountable team.
