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 regularly and aim to increase our portfolio with 5-10 new EQA schemes every year.

Pilot studies for 2026

New pilot studies for 2026 will be launched on this page. The arranged pilots will be free of charge for a limited number of participants.

A short feedback survey is included in all pilot studies. By responding, you can give us important information on how we can make the EQA scheme better for you.

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) for somatic tumours

Labquality is introducing a new product line for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) for somatic tumours. We are inviting a limited number of laboratories to participate free of charge in a pilot study for this new scheme. The scheme is suitable for all NGS methods.

Register by 31 January 2026.

All planned pilot studies for 2026

Clinical Chemistry: Alzheimer biomarkers
Clinical Chemistry: Neurofilament, light chains
Clinical Chemistry: EQA for Microsampling techniques

Bacteriology: Candida Auris, nucleic acid detection
Parasitology: Leishmania, nucleic acid detection
Parasitology: Cryptosporidium/Giardia/Entamoeba, antigen detection
Virology: HCV RNA from capillary blood, POCT

Integrated EQA Service

Our integrated EQA service is a completely new approach to external quality assessment. New programs integrate pre- and post-analytical EQA schemes into traditional analytical EQA, providing support according to the ISO 15189
standard requirements.

Digital External Quality Assessment Programs

Our digital EQA product line provides an
advanced approach to external quality
assessment. Digital EQA programs or
virtual EQA programs use digital images,
videos, virtual microscopy technology, and
questionnaires as EQA samples.
