Description
Bio-Rad’s External Quality Assurance Services (EQAS) programs for infectious diseases and immunohematology include sample packs and documentation (reports).
These programs are used to monthly assess the quality of a laboratory’s performance, to achieve greater confidence on their test results. The results are compared with other laboratories that use the same methodologies, instruments and reagents.
These evaluations begin by identifying potential sources of error in all phases of the analytical testing to assess both test and personnel performance.
Bio-Ra’s EQAS program provides access to a comprehensive and accredited ISO 17043 program.
The main infectious diseases and immunohematology EQAS programs include:
•Blood Typing Program (Immunohematology)
•HIV/Hepatitis Program
•Syphilis/Chagas Program
