Samples:

2 samples of approx. 4 ml

Sample properties:

Whole blood (Heparin), not stabilized

Additional Information:

Overnight delivery. Due to high demand three different sets of samples will be sent (Gr. 650 = Gr. 950 or Gr. 951). Please note: INSTAND e. V. reassigns the group number you receive before each EQAS/PT shipment. All groups are equivalent! This EQA scheme is based on stimulation with Mycobacterium Tuberculosis antigens and is designed for participants who use a TB Elispot (e.g., T-SPOT®.TB) or a test with pre-stimulation in a tube (e.g. QuantiFeron®-TB Gold Plus) or RIDASCREEN® TB Assay. The certificate is also valid for IGRA with other antigens performed on the same platform. Before registering for this proficiency test, please note that the samples have a limited stability of 24 hours!
