New schemes
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.

Local Partners Create Additional Value
We have EQA partners and distributors in more than 40 countries in Europe, South America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Partner organisations sell and localise the EQA service in their territory. All partners have expertise in EQA and laboratory medicine.
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.
