Remarks Provides EQA coverage for a large number of routine analytes found on a clinical chemistry analyser. This includes tests for electrolytes, renal and liver function. The Scheme distributes a number of endogenous and manipulated specimens to allow a comprehensive range of concentrations to be achieved. Birmingham Quality has a number of other EQA Schemes which allow specimens to be more targeted at specific concentrations for specific clinical conditions. For example, the Paediatric Bilirubin Scheme which covers higher concentrations of bilirubin which would ordinarily interfere with some analytes in the Clinical Chemistry (Monthly) Scheme.
