EQA Assessment

The scheme is designed to assess the analytical process (genotyping), and reporting (biological and clinical interpretation of the test result) including the overall report layout, content and clerical accuracy. 

To account for differing panel compositions, variants outside the stated scope of an individual laboratory’s panel will be excluded from their assessment.

More information, including the EMQN validation panel, is available on request and complete details will be provided in the scheme instructions. 

Sample Details

Three mock clinical cases; 2 with matching samples and 1 virtual case will be provided. Approximately 2µg DNA per sample is provided. Complete information will be available in the scheme instructions.

EQA Results

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.

Participation Information

Participants are expected to test samples according to their routine strategy, to return a clinical report and to complete the data collection form.

No restrictions on number of participants. Open to laboratories from ALL countries (note: some restrictions may apply due to sanctions, delivery network exceptions, restrictions on importation etc).
