In a clinical external quality assurance (EQA) program, peer grouping is an option to ensure  better-suited comparisons between laboratories. A peer group consists of laboratories that use the same or similar analytical methods, instruments, reagent systems, etc. Peer groups are helpful to identify systematic issues—such as due to instrument make, calibration drift or reagent issues—and for alleviating issues related to the non-commutability of samples (Tanasković et al., 2016).

Qualitative and Quantitative Schemes with Cequator's Standardized Templates

Cequator is a powerful software tool that simplifies the reporting process for both qualitative and quantitative EQA schemes. By providing standardized templates aligned with best practices, Cequator ensures consistency and clarity in reporting across diverse EQA schemes allowing EQA providers to gain deeper insights into the performance of participating laboratories.

As an international company, QuoData is committed to creating an open, inclusive, and integrated working environment for all employees. Since 2024, QuoData has proudly become a part of the Wirtschaft für ein Weltoffenes Sachsen (Welcome Saxony).

QuoData is pleased to be part of the KI MOD PEM project (AI-based modular mapping of the PEMFC-MEA manufacturing process for quality control of intermediate and end products). This project is supported by the Central Innovation Program for SMEs (ZIM), a nationwide, technology- and industry-open funding program. KI MOD PEM has a duration of 2.5 years and runs until April 30, 2026.

Overview and Aim of the Study

QuoData is excited to announce the collaborative study on the characterization of soil invertebrate communities using DNA metabarcoding. 

This study aims to validate genetic methods for soil invertebrate community characterization, focusing on DNA extraction and metabarcoding PCRs. These methods will be used for soil quality assessment. The validated methods will be submitted to ISO for preparation of new ISO standards.
