We are pleased to inform you that the first External Quality Assessment (EQA) Scheme for Basophil Activation Test (BAT) is now available at INSTAND e.V.
The EQA has been already offered to a set of laboratories in 2019 to evaluate the feasibility of BAT testing. It`s an honour to share with you the extremely positive feedback with a pass rate of about 90% and satisfaction of all BÜHLMANN BAT customers who participated.
INSTAND is providing non-stabilized EDTA whole blood material from normal blood donor and bee/wasp allergic patients, that can be easily assessed by combination of the Flow CAST® kit for Basophil Activation Testing (BAT; FKCCR), or the CAST® ELISA (EK-CAST) and the specific CAST® allergens for bee and wasp (BAG2-I1 honey bee venom and BAG2-I3 yellow jacket venom).
