| Remarks | Mixtures of 0 to 4 of the different pathogens specified in the panel are to be expected in the respective individual samples: Selection of Aeromonas spp., Campylobacter spp., Clostridium difficile (toxinogen), Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC / STEC), Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), Escherichia coli O157, Plesiomonas spp., Salmonella spp., Shigella/EIEC, Vibrio spp., Yersinia enterocolitica. In order to take into account the usually very different pathogen coverage of commercially available multiplex PCR/NAT concepts, each of the parameters listed above is certified separately as part of the evaluation. Only results from multiplex PCR/NAT test systems with a precisely specified test/kit designation are accepted. The parallel use of singleplex PCR/NAT detection methods for individual pathogens in the panel is not certified. The relatively broad spectrum of pathogen-specific EQA programmes for bacterial genome detection PCR/NAT is still available for this purpose. The interdisciplinary, non-profit, scientific and medical association INSTAND e. V. is a reference institution for the quality control of medical laboratories. It is one of four German reference institutions responsible for the organization of external quality assessment (EQA) schemes for quality control in medical laboratories. You can register for EQAs, submit your results and later download your evaluation documents via https://rv-online.instandev.de. The price on our website apply exclusively to orders placed via INSTAND e.V. Prices and services may differ for orders placed via distributors. Our newest EQA program can also be found on our website: https://www.instand-ev.de/en/instand-eqas/eqa-program/ | ||||||
