Through this new partnership, Fortress Diagnostics can offer laboratories new opportunities for the participation in internationally recognised External Quality Assessment (EQA) programs.
These programs enable laboratories to compare their results with other laboratories in order to maintain and improve the quality of the analytical performance, complementing the daily use of internal quality controls manufactured and offered by Fortress Diagnostics.
Fortress Diagnostics has selected the Clinical Chemistry program with 31 analytical parameters and the Infectious Disease Program (anti-HIV, anti-HCV, anti-HBc and HBsAg) for the launch of this cooperation project. Additional programs will be offered in the future and can be added upon request.
If you would like to join ESfEQA, or to find out more information, please contact us.
