EP Evaluator® Release 10

Celebrating a 21-year track record of excellence!

This is the tenth version of the popular EP Evaluator® method evaluation software package, first release for DOS in 1991, and for Windows in 1999. Unlike other laboratory statistics programs, EP Evaluator® was designed by a board-certified clinical chemist specifically to meet the needs of the clinical laboratory ― including connectivity, network support, 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, built-in backup/restore, ability to copy data to/from spreadsheets, and, above all, well-designed professional reports, ready to sign and file.
