The External Quality Assessment Programmes in Laboratory Medicine (VEQ or EQAS External Quality Assessment Schemes) are designed to allow retrospective comparison between determinations carried out in different laboratories. Participants in VEQ programmes obtain, through periodic reports of results, useful information on the analytical performance of the different methods/kits used in the measurements. The control samples, in lyophilic form, are prepared from human serum with the possible addition of purified components of human origin, pure chemicals, preservatives and stabilizers; the sera are lyophilized to increase their stability.
