Provides EQA for laboratory based cardiac marker assays. Combined samples are issued for troponin, CKMB, myoglobin and NT-proBNP. An additional sample for troponin analysis only is issued for high sensitivity methods to cover very low clinically important levels around the assay detection limit.
A separate set of EQA samples is available for laboratory based BNP assays to cover clinically important range.
Provides EQA for point of care methods for cardiac troponin I, cardiac troponin T, CKMB, myoglobin and NT-proBNP. Combined samples are issued for troponin, CKMB and myoglobin to enable assessment of multi-analyte panels. Separate samples are issued for NT-proBNP to enable coverage of the analytical range. This Scheme does not cover very low levels of troponin, detectable by high sensitivity assays; a separate scheme is available for these methods.
Provides EQA for point of care high sensitivity cardiac troponin I methods. The Scheme covers the analytical range including clinically important levels around the assay detection limit.
