Where can I see the scheduled proficiency tests?

You can check our PT schedule in the PROFICIENCY TEST section of our website.

How can I know when applications wil be open?

You can know when the PT of your interest is going to be started by:

1. Visiting our website from time to time, checking for news about that PT and/or going to PROFICIENCY TEST tab .
2. Request updated by email, for that you will have to contact our technical department and they will keep you updated about the PT you are interested in.
3. Add your email to our email list, by doing so you will receive emails reminding you of upcoming PTs and if any offer or discount is available.

How can I receive a sample and participate?

To participate you will have to register on our website (if you are not registered already) and send your application through the website for the profieincy test you want to receive a sample.

In the application you will be asked the LOQ of the analytes you will analyse, this way we ensure that the PT will be of use for any laboratory that participates with TestQual.

If by any chance you analyze below a certain % or if the PT might not be of use for your laboratory we will email you and check everything to make sure your participation will be useful.

What are the costs of TestQual's PTs?

TestQual's PTs costs can be divided in two concepts:

1. Participation fee, this includes everything (preparing the samples, management of your results, report, etc.) except the shipping costs. This cost can be checked in the PROFICIENCY TEST section.
2. Shippment costs (TestQual subcontrates a courier), this is not included in the price shown in the website because we charge our clients what the courier bills us. TestQual does NOT profit from the shipping costs. And we are constantly reviewing our couriers to provide the best delivery time and cost. if you want to know more about the shipping of samples you can click here: TESTQUAL SHIPPING.

Those that have participated with us know that this is one of the reasons we can offer such a good quality/price PTs and is one of the reasons they keep participating with us.
