The use of immunohistochemistry is rapidly increasing, but quality control has lagged behind. Nordic Quality Control (NordiQC) was established to address external quality control needs for Scandinavian laboratories.

Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Laboratory Medicine
  • Quality Management

Background:

  • Immunohistochemistry (IHC) utilization by pathologists has seen significant logarithmic growth over the past decade.
  • This increasing trend in IHC is projected to continue without deceleration.
  • Quality control measures, particularly external quality control, have not kept pace with the expanding use of IHC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the establishment and work of the Nordic Quality Control (NordiQC) organization.
  • To highlight the importance of external quality control in immunohistochemistry.
  • To address the growing need for standardized IHC quality assurance in Scandinavian laboratories.

Main Methods:

  • Establishment of the Nordic Quality Control (NordiQC) organization in 1999 by nine Scandinavian laboratories.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Provision of external quality control services specifically for immunohistochemistry.
  • Focus on laboratories in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland.

    • Main Results:

    • NordiQC successfully provides external quality control for immunohistochemistry in Scandinavian countries.
    • The organization addresses the gap in quality control lagging behind the increasing use of IHC.
    • Demonstrates a collaborative approach to improving IHC standardization and reliability.

    Conclusions:

    • External quality control is crucial for maintaining high standards in immunohistochemistry.
    • NordiQC serves as a vital resource for ensuring the quality and consistency of IHC assays.
    • The model of NordiQC can inform similar initiatives in other regions facing similar quality control challenges.
