to check for:


-quality ofreagents


-stability ofthe machine


-technical(operator) errors



-involves the analysis of control samples together with thepatient specimen


-detects changes in performance between the present operation & the stable operation -important for the daily monitoring of accuracy & precision ofanalytical methods


-detects both random & systematic errors in a daily basis


-allows identification of analytic errors within a one – weekcycle

internal/intralab QC

-involvesproficiency testing programs that periodically provide samples of unknownconcentrations to participating clinical laboratories


-important inmaintaining long–term accuracy of the analytical methods


-also used todetermine state-of-the-art interlaboratory performance
