Publications

UK NEQAS for Leucocyte Immunophenotyping has contributed to the scientific literature for over three decades, advancing standards in flow cytometry, molecular haemato-oncology, and external quality assessment/proficiency testing worldwide.

Our publications span consensus guidelines, interlaboratory studies, and methodological research – covering areas from CD4+ T cell counting and CD34+ stem cell enumeration to PNH testing, measurable residual disease in haematological malignancies, and chimerism monitoring after HSCT. These collaborative works reflect our commitment to improving laboratory accuracy and patient outcomes through rigorous external quality assessment.
