Quality Assurance Schemes
IMMPROVE™ Quality Assurance (QA) Schemes allow laboratories to monitor the standard of their own results over time and compare them to other methods available. Participants in the schemes are located in more than 15 countries worldwide. Laboratories may join a scheme at any time during the year. Each laboratory is allocated a reference number on registration and all reports are generated against the relevant number in order to preserve confidentiality.
In all Binding Site IMMPROVE QA Schemes the participating laboratory is asked to run the sample provided on their routine assays and report the results obtained. Following analysis of the results a report is sent to each participating laboratory. The number of samples issued per 12 months is indicated in the table.
Registration is for 1 year at the end of which there is the opportunity to re-register for a further year on an annual basis.
To register or re-register please contact your local Binding Site representative.
