RIQAS is the largest international EQA scheme in the world. It is used by more than 55,000 laboratory participants in 134 countries
BENEFITS:
Delivering a comprehensive yet cost-effective EQA solution, RIQAS will help meet regulatory requirements and increase confidence in test system accuracy
Large Database of Users:
• A high level of participation means peer group numbers are maximized whilst ensuring availability of data for a wide range of instruments and methods.
User-friendly Reports:
• Simple, one page per parameter format, enables at-a-glance performance assessment, saving valuable laboratory time.
• Complimentary multi-instrument and interlaboratory reports allow comparative performance assessment of all laboratory systems and multiple connected laboratories.
• End-of-cycle reports, summarizing performance compared to the previous cycle, allow you to identify improvements in quality over time.
Cost Effective:
• Our extensive range of multi-analyte programmes will reduce the number of individual programmes required to cover your test menu, saving both time and money.
• Reduced parameter options for selected programmes offer greater flexibility, ensuring suitability for laboratories of all sizes and budgets.
• Register up to five instruments per programme (volume permitting) at no extra cost for comparative performance assessment.
Frequency:
• Frequent reporting allows early identification of system errors and implementation of any necessary corrective actions with minimum disruption to the lab.
• With a turnaround of less than 72 hours for most reports, corrective action can be implemented earlier, potentially reducing costly errors with patient results.
High Quality Samples:
• Samples spanning clinically relevant levels allow identification of concentration-related biases, helping to ensure accurate instrument performance.
• Human samples free from interfering preservatives increase confidence that EQA performance mirrors the performance of patient samples.
• Reference method values are provided in the Clinical Chemistry programme for selected parameters and lots, while for the Immunosuppressant programme, they are provided for all parameters and lots.
Highly Accredited:
• Programmes accepted by National and International accreditation bodies worldwide.
• Participant certificates provide evidence of participation in a reputable EQA scheme.
