Evaluating laboratory measurement procedures

Introduction

Since 1999, BioSystems, S.A. runs an international external quality assessment scheme (EQAS) known as Prevecal.

The External Quality Control (EQAS) complements the internal quality control in the laboratory and is an essential tool to verify the accuracy of results and to evaluate the performance of the laboratory measurement procedures.

The external control program compares the result obtained in the laboratory with a reference value or with the results of all the participant laboratories by analyzing the same sample.


How can Prevecal can help?

↗ By estimating the interlaboratory variability
↗ By comparing and assessing methods
↗ Demonstrate a laboratory's performance
↗ By guiding to the possible causes of error

The program is a result of BioSystems' policy of active collaboration with the laboratories to obtain analysis results with the highest accuracy.

BioSystems, S.A. (Prevecal) is accredited according to the ISO 17043 with accreditation Nº12/PPI020. (See scope of accreditation).
