Oct. 17, 2024—Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched its External Quality Assurance Services specialty immunoassay program. The liquid, independent, and confidential external assessment program consolidates 13 complex and highly tested specialty immunoassay analytes, including procalcitonin, active vitamin B12, interleukin-6, and fructosamine, at normal and abnormal levels.
The expanded menu enhances the clinical utility across different disease areas such as sepsis, anemia, diabetes, and thyroid disorders, while the analyte consolidation aims to reduce costs by eliminating the need for participation in multiple EQA programs. EQAS SPIA offers a user-friendly online platform for data access and reporting combined with full ISO/IEC 17043 accreditation.
