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

Point-of-Care testing for the MT-RNR1 m.1555A>G variant.

Users will receive two EQA samples every three months (8 samples per year), allowing them to verify the ongoing accuracy of MT-RNR1 testing on their POCT devices, to ensure patients receive the most reliable diagnoses possible.

Users are required to report MT-RNR1 m.1555A>G detection status, with additional patient identifiers.

Additional samples are available to purchase for device verification. You can purchase a verification package of materials from our website by navigating to the ‘EQA Scheme catalogue’ section, selecting Point of Care Testing.

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).
