QuoData Participates in RAFA 2024 Symposium on Food Analysis

QuoData is excited to participate in the upcoming RAFA 2024, the 11th International Symposium on Recent Advances in Food Analysis, held in Prague from November 5th to 8th. This event will bring together experts in the field of food science to discuss the latest trends in analytical and bioanalytical strategies for food quality and food safety, alongside challenges and novel approaches in food and natural product analysis.

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). 

Meet QuoData at EQALM 2024 in Vienna!

QuoData is excited to to contribute to 2024 EQALM Symposium and General Assembly, which will be held in Vienna, Austria, from October 16th to 18th. As an annual gathering of professionals in external quality assessment (EQA) across Europe, the EQALM symposium brings together key players to collaborate and share insights about laboratory medicine. The symposium is supported by IFCC (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry).

Successful Free Web-Seminar on QuoData's Tool-Suite µKPI for Microbiological Method KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)

Successful Free Web-Seminar on QuoData's Tool-Suite µKPI for Microbiological Method KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)

On September 3rd, QuoData hosted a free web-seminar introducing its innovative Tool-Suite µKPI, designed for determining performance indicators of microbiological methods (KPIs). The event received very positive feedback, with participants highly valuing the tool and its functionality.

As of the beginning of 2024, QuoData has proudly become a member of the Association of Friends and Sponsors of TU Dresden (GFF). The Association of Friends and Sponsors of TU Dresden is dedicated to advancing teaching and research at TU Dresden, bolstering the university's reputation, and enhancing its connections with research and industry partners.

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.

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.

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).

An exciting opportunity for laboratories as the 2024 Interlaboratory Study for effect-based in vitro methods to detect hormonal activity in aqueous samples is set to launch this autumn. We invite you to participate in this study to enhance your laboratory's performance. Let's take a brief look at the first interlaboratory trial organized in 2021.
