Several organizations in the United States have recently been involved in the quality assurance of immunophenotyping using flow cytometry. These activities include publication of guidelines for immunophenotyping, particularly in human immunodeficiency virus infection, performance evaluation and proficiency testing programs, and training and continuing education programs. Through questionnaires and results from performance evaluation programs, variability in test results has been decreasing the last few years, and more laboratories are beginning to use the same specimen processing and data analysis procedures.
美国的几个组织最近参与了使用流式细胞术进行免疫表型分析的质量保证工作。这些活动包括发布免疫表型分析指南，特别是在人类免疫缺陷病毒感染方面、性能评估和能力验证计划，以及培训和继续教育计划。通过问卷调查和性能评估计划的结果，在过去几年中测试结果的变异性一直在降低，并且越来越多的实验室开始采用相同的样本处理和数据分析程序。
