EQA Assessment

The scheme is designed to assess the analytical process (genotyping) only.

Sample Details

Artificial Buccal swabs created by coating swabs with fixed cells from patient-derived lymphoblastoid cell lines and contain varying cell loads designed to mimic real patient samples. 
The material is not expected to contain any infectious agents but the samples should be handled with the same caution as for clinical specimens.

EQA Results

The user will receive a survey report containing device specific performance data, benchmarked against the cohort of participating users. Additionally a annual report summarising the years data will also be provided.

Participation Information
