Genomic EQA Directory

Overview:

As part of GenQA's commitment to providing EQAs covering the entire genomic testing process, we recognise the importance of high quality DNA of sufficient quantity being critical for laboratories to complete their genomic testing.

The Sample Handling EQAs deliver the assessment of the accuracy of DNA quantification and analysis of the quality and quantity of extracted from blood, FFPE tissue, saliva and fresh tissue.  To support laboratories in testing these processes, GenQA provides patient and donor samples to closely mimic those received by genomics laboratories.

Summary Information:

Assess the quality and quantity of your DNA extraction methods for different sample types and quantification processes. 

• EQAs delivered in accordance with the international standard ISO 17043 for proficiency testing providers.
• Any method can be used
• 3 weeks to submit results
• Each participating laboratory receives an Individual Laboratory Report (ILR) and EQA summary report general findings, a summary of methodologies used and benchmarking against other laboratories worldwide.
