Sample Details
Three mock clinical cases with matching samples will be provided (1x 10um FFPE section). Samples are provided as cut sections (rolled scrolls / curls) only – we cannot provide slide mounted materials.
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).
