For those wishing to read the full Wall Street Journal article, if you search for the headline on Google News, it should give you one-off access.

It's interesting to think how this would have panned out in the UK, where EQA and accreditation are not compulsory, IVD legislation is not enforced and private labs are seemingly free to do what they want.
