Applied Spectral Imaging Receives Prestigious ISO 9000-3 Certification

"Receiving this ISO certification reflects ASI's strong commitment to quality, which runs through all levels of our company. While ISO 9000-3 relates specifically to the software development process, its framework for excellence in terms of customer focus and organizational management is a key principle which continually guides our organization," says H. Laurence Shaw, MD, ASI's Chief Executive Officer.

"ASI's development team has always had high standards of quality control in the development process. I see that receiving this ISO 9000-3 certification is a natural outcome of our insistence on developing what the customer needs while working together as a team. The end result of our commitment to quality is the high quality of our software products," added Yacov Malinovich, ASI's Vice President of Research and Development.

The ISO 9000-3 international standard is one of the most stringent for quality control in software development.

ASI develops and markets state-of-the-art imaging systems for the life sciences, health care, remote sensing and other markets. ASI's patented imaging technology, called SpectraCube®, distinguishes between materials that appear identical. ASI is concentrating on finding applications for SpectraCube® in drug discovery, genomics, proteomics, cell biology and medical microscopy.
