Interlaboratory study for effect-based in vitro methods to detect estrogenic activity

Interlaboratory study for effect-based in vitro methods to detect estrogenic activity

 
 
 
This is the first study within QuoData’s recent proficiency testing program for effect-based in vitro methods. Interested laboratories will have the opportunity to participate in further interlaboratory studies of QuoData’s EQA program for biotests in the future.
 

The interlab study at a glance

This study is designed as an interlaboratory comparison exercise to provide information on comparability and reproducibility of the in vitro methods used and goes beyond the scope of a classical proficiency test. This interlaboratory comparison approach is therefore interesting for accredited and non-accredited laboratories.

 

Within this study the following kind of samples will be analyzed:

 

  • An aqueous extract from a food or personal care product

  • A surface water sample spiked with a strong estrogenic compound to gain a EEQ of approx. 10 to 50 ng/L.

 

For the registration process and the submission of the results QuoData provides the EQA Biotests web portal.

 

The introductory price for the first round of the interlaboratory study is 300,- € and refers to the participation per method which is included in the overall evaluation.
