Objective
The project goals are to develop a central facility that will prepare stabilised European Reference standards, which will be used to implement a European external quality assessment (EQA) network for clinical flow cytometry. Established cellular stabilising protocols and EQA mechanisms involving European groups committed to harmonising flow kilometric clinical cell analysis will be used. The project will be professionally led and scientifically based; educational; provide clinical performance appraisal; monitor laboratory performance; measure cost benefits and quality of life improvements by raising standards in clinical laboratories. This will be achieved through a continuous network operation of frequent specimen distribution, rapid performance feedback at European and National level and by establishing reference preparations, provide to individual laboratories evidence of the accuracy of different analytical procedures.
