Programs & rounds

Set up your scheme once. Let the calendar run it.

Configure each test with your own analytes and parameters, let laboratories register with your provider code, and schedule rounds on one calendar. Announcements, reminders and approvals happen on the platform instead of in your inbox.

The problem

Scheme administration eats the time your experts should spend on science.

  • Every new test means another spreadsheet template for labs to fill in, and another set of formatting mistakes to fix.
  • Enrolment lists, fees and approvals are tracked by hand across email threads.
  • Labs miss result deadlines because nobody had time to chase them.
  • The round calendar lives in one person’s head, so dispatch dates and deadlines collide.

With EqasOnline

Everything a round needs, configured in one place

Test builder

Build quantitative or qualitative tests with analytes grouped into sections, your own units, and the fields labs must fill in: numbers, lists, dates, temperatures or patterned values such as HLA alleles. Start a new test from an existing one.

Rounds and calendar

Give each round its dates, participating labs and samples, plus an optional report release date. Every round appears on a calendar you can export, with deadlines anchored to your time zone.

Enrolment by code or your own page

Labs register with your 8-character provider code, or on your own registration page under your name and logo, and choose the tests they run. Each registration waits until you approve it.

Prices at enrolment

Set a price for each test in your currency (e.g. INR, ZAR, USD, EUR, GBP). Labs see it as they choose their tests, and the total is worked out for them before they submit.

Deadlines and reminders

Labs get an announcement email when you create a round, and email and in-app reminders three days and one day before it closes if they have not submitted. Need to allow latecomers? Open a 24-hour extension that closes itself.

Participant management

Keep every lab’s profile, contacts, tests and subscription dates in one list.

Step by step

How it works

  1. 01

    Build the test

    Add analytes, units and the instrument, method and reagent fields you need for peer grouping.

  2. 02

    Open registration

    Share your provider code or your registration page link. Labs register and pick their tests.

  3. 03

    Approve labs

    Review each registration and approve it; the lab can then sign in to its portal.

  4. 04

    Create the round

    Set the dates, add participating labs and samples, and the round runs to its deadline with reminders.
