Quality assurance is a key element for the functioning of any laboratory, and it goes further than just the internal and external quality controls of analytical parameters. The Spanish Society for Immunology (SEI) promotes a process to select a Center (CR) that will develop a complete program of External Quality Assurance for Diagnostic Immunology Laboratories, assodated with the Spanish Society for Immunology (GECLID-SEI).
