Out of Schedule Samples
Laboratories enrolled with ANQAP may request additional panels of samples. These ‘Out of Schedule’ panels are useful when establishing or evaluating new tests and may be sent to the laboratory with the expected result for each sample provided. Out of Schedule Panel reports are not NATA endorsed reports.
ANQAP will always reserve the right to refuse requests for additional samples if stocks are low.
