Randox RIQAS Monthly Haematology EQA Samples – RQ9140

The Randox RIQAS Monthly Haematology EQA Programme is an external quality assessment and proficiency-testing scheme designed to independently monitor the analytical performance of routine haematology laboratories. The monthly programme uses liquid, ready-to-use 100% whole blood samples supplied in primary tubes. The current monthly configuration is 12 × 2 mL samples, catalogue number RQ9140, providing one sample per month over a 12-month programme cycle. It evaluates 11 key haematology parameters, including haemoglobin, haematocrit, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and red-cell indices. Laboratories analyse the samples using their normal haematology systems, submit results to RIQAS and receive external performance reports comparing their results with appropriate peer groups. Randox states that the scheme is accredited to ISO/IEC 17043:2023.
