UK NEQAS for leucocyte immunophenotyping: the first 10 years

UK NEQAS in antibiotic assays.

How providers of external quality assessment (EQA) programmes relate to and interact with the monitors and watchdog of clinical laboratory performance in the UK is described. With regard to the quality of antibiotic assays, the changes in methodologies and in performance quality between 1971 (when the UK NEQAS for Antibiotic Assays began) and 1999 is reviewed. How improvements in performance an...

Arteriosclerosis: the first 10 years.

first 10 years

The UK National External Quality Assessment Scheme (UK NEQAS) for molecular genetic testing in haemophilia.

Molecular genetic analysis of families with haemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders is now a common laboratory investigation. In contrast to phenotypic testing in which strict quality control is adhered to, in haemophilia molecular genetic testing there has been a lack of any external quality assurance schemes. In 1998 the UK National External Quality Assessment Scheme (UK NEQAS) est...

Interactive holographic displays: the first 10 years

This chapter reviews the first ten years of interactive electro-holographic displays from its first instance in 1990 through innovations in computational approaches and optical modulation schemes. The enormous bandwidths required to image three-dimensional (3-D) holographic images interactively are examined, along with descriptions of techniques used to overcome the limitations placed upon frin...
