Special Stains

HSL-AD participates in external quality assurance (EQA) across various modules through UK NEQAS ICC & ISH, NordiQC, and GenQA. For tests not covered by conventional EQA schemes within the previous 12 months, an alternative approach to EQA is implemented to ensure ongoing quality assessment.
