3 INSTAND External Quality Assessment Schemes June 2018 Virus Immunology Virus Genome Detection Information on Sample Properties Dear colleagues, You have registered for one or several of the INSTAND external quality assessment (EQA) schemes in diagnostics in June The INSTAND EQA schemes June 2018 for immunology and genome detection are now closed. For orientation, you receive information on the properties of the samples which were tested in the respective EQA scheme of June The pre-evaluation of these EQA schemes which you usually receive, will be supplied in due time gether with participation documents (certificate of successful participation, statement of participation, statement of individual results). will be in the forthcoming pre-evaluation, the participation documents as well as the reports of the For questions, please do not hesitate contact us.
