About us
INSTAND, a society for promoting quality assurance in medical laboratories, has been performing proficiency tests as a scientific medical society in all areas of in vitro diagnostics since 1970. Each diagnosis and prescribed therapy is based on the valid assessment of laboratory values.
Achieving validity and comparability of measurement results in laboratories, which may operate worldwide, is one of INSTAND‘s fundamental goals.
The German Medical Association designates INSTAND as a reference institution for quality control in medical laboratories. We carry out a large number of proficiency tests to assure and improve the quality of laboratory results.
This leads to the early detection of diseases and a general improvement of medical care in diagnostics, therapy monitoring, follow-up care, and rehabilitation.

Products & Services
Proficiency testing is used as an independent instrument to monitor and promote the reliability of all market participants‘ laboratory value determinations in all fields of laboratory medicine.
INSTAND currently offers more than 390 proficiency tests worldwide in a wide range of disciplines.
While many EQA schemes in Germany are obligatory, according to the German Medical Association‘s Guideline‘ s current version (RiliBÄK), we offer many additional programs with our approximately 170 dedicated EQA scheme experts (physicians/natural scientists).
Especially for new analytes, early external quality assurance is of enormous importance for improved patient safety.
For example, due to our expertise in virology and the intensive cooperation with the German virological societies, INSTAND established the first worldwide EQA scheme for genome detection of the new SARS-CoV-2 pathogen.
