As of the beginning of 2024, QuoData has proudly become a member of the Association of Friends and Sponsors of TU Dresden (GFF). The Association of Friends and Sponsors of TU Dresden is dedicated to advancing teaching and research at TU Dresden, bolstering the university's reputation, and enhancing its connections with research and industry partners.

Qualitative and Quantitative Schemes with Cequator's Standardized Templates

Cequator is a powerful software tool that simplifies the reporting process for both qualitative and quantitative EQA schemes. By providing standardized templates aligned with best practices, Cequator ensures consistency and clarity in reporting across diverse EQA schemes allowing EQA providers to gain deeper insights into the performance of participating laboratories.

As an international company, QuoData is committed to creating an open, inclusive, and integrated working environment for all employees. Since 2024, QuoData has proudly become a part of the Wirtschaft für ein Weltoffenes Sachsen (Welcome Saxony).

QuoData is pleased to be part of the KI MOD PEM project (AI-based modular mapping of the PEMFC-MEA manufacturing process for quality control of intermediate and end products). This project is supported by the Central Innovation Program for SMEs (ZIM), a nationwide, technology- and industry-open funding program. KI MOD PEM has a duration of 2.5 years and runs until April 30, 2026.

Overview and Aim of the Study

QuoData is excited to announce the collaborative study on the characterization of soil invertebrate communities using DNA metabarcoding. 

This study aims to validate genetic methods for soil invertebrate community characterization, focusing on DNA extraction and metabarcoding PCRs. These methods will be used for soil quality assessment. The validated methods will be submitted to ISO for preparation of new ISO standards.

An exciting opportunity for laboratories as the 2024 Interlaboratory Study for effect-based in vitro methods to detect hormonal activity in aqueous samples is set to launch this autumn. We invite you to participate in this study to enhance your laboratory's performance. Let's take a brief look at the first interlaboratory trial organized in 2021.

Fostering dialog - QuoData Welcomes New DAAD Interns!

QuoData warmly welcomes the new DAAD interns! This year, QuoData is delighted to have three interns supported by DAAD (German Academic Exchange Services) RISE program join the team.

The Untold History of Algorithm A

I recently faced the problem of trying to understand why different people applying the same algorithm to the same data obtained different results, even though everyone was apparently applying the algorithm correctly.

QuoData is excited to announce a powerful new addition to its clinical EQA software-as-a-service suite Cequator – a powerful Homogeneity & Stability Testing module. This feature allows EQA providers to analyze homogeneity and stability data of EQA/PT samples as required by ISO 17043.

Homogeneity and stability are critical factors in ensuring accurate and reproducible results when using EQA/PT samples. The new module followst he protocols of ISO 13528 and streamlines the analysis process with:

On June 5, 2024, QuoData successfully hosted a web-seminar on "Implementing ISO 17043:2023 - Guidelines for Laboratory PT Sample Production and Distribution." Martin Jähne, QuoData's Head of Laboratory, guided participants through the critical updates and changes in the ISO 17043:2023 standard.

The ISO 17043 standard, updated in 2023, includes several significant changes:

Incorporation of inspection and sampling as further conformity assessment activities in the standard
