Microsatellite Instability testing

Three mock clinical cases with real human tumour tissue FFPE samples with matched normal tissue and / or artificial FFPE (designed to simulate real patient samples – no matched normal provided). One 10um or 15um FFPE section per case is provided.

The matched normal(s) may be used as an optional aid to determine the MSI status of the tumour.

Samples are provided as cut sections (rolled scrolls / curls) only – we cannot provide slide mounted materials.

Participants will receive an individual report including educational advice and a scheme report which includes additional information from the cohort of participants including geographical spread, methodologies employed, common errors, learning points and scheme statistics allowing participants to benchmark their results.

Each laboratory will also receive a single certificate listing all EQAs participated in with performance result for each year.

No restrictions on number of participants.

Open to laboratories from ALL countries (note: some restrictions may apply*)
