Have you ever wondered how we get the samples for our EQA schemes? Introducing our EQA Sample Procurement team!

The successful acquisition of reliable, homogenous, and stable samples is the cornerstone of high-quality EQA service. 💡

This team takes care of the complex entity of sample procurement for over 200 different EQA schemes, which contain nearly 1,000 individual EQA rounds each year.

The team also sources samples for new EQA pilot projects and actively searches for new and better sample formats and contents for our existing EQA products.

There are five people in the team: EQA Coordinators Outi, Jaana and Yvonne, procurement manager Piritta and team leader, EQA Solutions Manager Elina.

Futurist and author Perttu Pölönen closed this year’s congress with a visionary keynote on navigating the landscape of the future.

His thought-provoking talk challenged us to rethink how we approach the future, the opportunities it offers and what kind of meaning we find in fast-developing new technologies like AI.

Thank you, Perttu, and thank you to everyone who joined the 50th Labquality Days congress! This was definitely a congress to remember!

This year’s ePoster exhibition broke records with the number of scientific posters on display!

Visitors also had a chance to meet the poster authors at a Meet & Greet session.

🏅 The Best Poster Award, given by the Congress Scientific Committee, went to Fiona Cox and the INSTAND team for their study on glucose point-of-care testing materials.

🎖️Visitors voted Artur Gabrysiak's (Grupa American Heart of Poland) poster "Should Quality Control Be Performed for Calculated LDL-C?" as their favourite.

Congratulations to Fiona, Artur and their colleagues!

The second day of Labquality Days 2026 is well underway! ❄️

Today's Quality in Laboratory Medicine session is focused on direct-to-consumer testing (DTCT).

DTCT refers to in vitro testing initiated and paid for by the consumer - either at home or via self-collected samples sent to a lab. 💡

Matthias Orth opened the day with an insightful talk on the potential and pitfalls of this growing trend.

The new Exhibitor Stage Takeovers have been a hit at Labquality Days 2026! 🎤

These short sessions give exhibitors the floor to share practical insights, while participants can tune in via headphones and focus on the content amid the buzz of the exhibition.

Once again, the lively exhibition area has offered a great overview of the latest products and services shaping the laboratory field.

23/01/2026

We’re piloting a new External Quality Assessment (EQA) scheme for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) in somatic tumours – and we’re looking for a limited number of laboratories to join, free of charge. 🎯

The pilot involves analysing one FFPE-derived DNA sample as part of your routine workflow. You can choose to report up to three cases, focusing on breast, lung or colorectal cancer, using your lab’s established panel and processes. Results will be submitted via LabScala and assessed by our Scheme Expert. 🌟

Sample distribution takes place in spring 2026, and the registration deadline is 31 January. Read more 👉 https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0rbcLS0
