Introduction
Demands for better quality assessment and performance standards are growing.
Accurate cost-effective and reliable measurements of biochemical markers are
needed for making a good diagnosis.
Therefore health authorities throughout the world are striving to establish
performance and comparability standards. These ambitions require that diag-
nostic testing laboratories continuously assess their performance.
The laboratories performing in vitro tests can fulfill these demands and ensure
that correct results will be obtained by adapting a solid quality assurance
program in the laboratory.
This chapter gives the basis for how to introduce and use such programs in
laboratories using Phadia 100 for
in vitro
allergy, asthma and auto-immunity
testing.
