As every year, in 2025 too we will propose our EN ISO/IEC 17043:2010 accredited proficiency testing scheme for quinolones/fluoroquinolones in fish. In 2024 we received subscriptions for this PT from 16 different Countries in the world, confirming our international approach. Moreover, 85% of the laboratories who participated to this PT were Official Control Laboratories, confirming that in more than 25 years of experience we have won the trust of many national reference laboratories worldwide.

IF YOU ARE STILL NOT CONVINCED…
Separate evaluation data for screening and confirmatory methods, with the assigned value deriving only from quantitative confirmatory results. This feature of our PTs respects the requirement of UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17043:2010 to use fit-for-purpose methods of evaluation, makes the assigned value more reliable and the assessment more valid. Even if you are using a screening method, the PT simulates what you would do in the routine (comparing your results with confirmatory ones). The semi-quantitative (< or >) and qualitative screening results receive evaluations provided with dedicated criteria. The quantitative screening and confirmatory results are evaluated through z-score.
More reliable assigned value due to more stability of Test Materials. SOme of the Test Materials are provided as lyophilized (to be tested after reconstitution). In this way, regardless of the provenience of the laboratory, every participant can be sure to receive the Test Material in the same conditions. Once reconstituted it is the same as in your routine!
The participation provides 2 different Test Materials, (they can be both contaminated or one of them could be blank). In the PT, as in the routine, the laboratory technicians do not know if they are testing a contaminated or a blank material. In this way, the laboratory could be assessed also for False Positive results or for method performances at different levels of concentrations.
Possibility to submit 2 sets of results and evaluate them in the Final Report, thus, with one subscription, 2 laboratory technicians, or 2 different methodologies.
Information about False Positives is provided in the Final Report.
SAVE ON SHIPPING COSTS IN SEPTEMBER! This PT is scheduled for the September 2025 round. In the same round you will also find other PTs from the Progetto Trieste – Veterinary Drug Residues line. Order as many PTs as you want from those that are shipped the same day: shipping costs will not change!
