    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 EQA portfolio with 5-10 new EQA schemes every year.

    Planned pilot studies for 2025

    We are planning new EQA pilot studies for 2025. The arranged pilots will be free of charge for a limited number of participants.

     If you registered for one or more pilots through the general registration link earlier this year, we will send you more information as the pilot approaches. 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.

    This page will be updated as further studies are scheduled.

    Bacteriology: Vaginitis/Vaginosis, multiplex, nucleic acid detection
    Bacteriology: Gram stain, vaginal fluid
    Clinical Chemistry: Immunosuppressive drugs
    Clinical Chemistry: Erythropoietin
