A model for quality achievement--the NORDKEM protein project.

UNLABELLED

The Nordic protein project demonstrates a model for the process of achieving analytical quality.

GOAL

based on use of common reference intervals leading to the quality specifications. Creation of quality: through common high quality calibrator (with IFCC-values) (external factor) and individual trouble-shooting and guidelines (internal factor). Control of quality: with specially designed set of control samples and problem-related evaluation of control data. Establishing common reference intervals: through associated projects.
