Description
Bio-Rad’s external quality assurance services (EQAS) programs for infectious diseases and immunohematology include specimen packages and documentation (reports).
These programs are used to evaluate the quality of a laboratory’s performance on a monthly basis, thus achieving greater confidence in the test results. The results are compared with other laboratories that use the same methodologies, instruments and reagents.
These evaluations begin the process of identifying potential sources of error in all phases of analytical testing and can be used to evaluate both personnel and assay performance.
Bio-Rad’s EQAS program provides access to a comprehensive, ISO 17043 accredited program.
Among the main EQAS programs for infectious diseases and immunohematology, the following stand out:
– Blood Typing Program (Immunohematology)
– HIV/Hepatitis Program
– Syphilis/Chagas Program
