New schemes

We actively follow the development of laboratory medicine as we want to produce clinically relevant EQA schemes to serve clinical laboratories and point-of-care sites. We launch new pilot studies on a regular basis and aim to increase our Labquality EQAS by Aurevia portfolio with 5-10 new EQA schemes every year.

Planned pilot studies for 2025

We are now proudly launching this year's first pilot studies, which will be conducted starting in March. Registration for these pilots is open and will close on 24 February 2025. More information and registration links are found below. The arranged pilots will be free of charge for a limited number of participants.

This year, we also include a short survey in the pilot studies. By responding, you can give us important information on how we can make the EQA scheme better for you.
