"Participation in the proficiency testing organized by GD is a regular practice for IDEXX. The proficiency tests are very well organized, the samples are well characterized, and the statistical analysis is giving additional value. The emphasis on quality is evident in GD's efforts, aligning with IDEXX's priorities. We encourage our customers to participate as well, to support their accreditation and reinforce their confidence in our tests."

"The PTS on AI and ND as issued by GD Animal Health are very useful as an additional item in the ringtrials required by quality management. I found the organisation and evaluation of the PTS extremely professional. The organisers have been open to discussions on improvement/refinement of the data submission and evaluation. The possibility to hand in results via a web interface is an added plus."

“Since 2005 Centre of Veterinary Diagnostics Ltd, CVD (Ukraine, Kyiv) have participated in 24 International ring trials organised by GD. It’s very important for our serology and PCR labs to take the professional “exams” like that. For us it’s one of the ways to check the trueness of our results and to compare them to the results of other laboratories and to determine reliability of our diagnostic tool. Good results and Certificate of participation in PTS organised by GD is a great evidence of our competence for ourselves, for accreditation bodies and for our customers. We would like to thank all the PTS team for professionalism and high quality job from its beginning to the Final report”.

"As an ELISA kit producer, we are entirely satisfied with the GD proficiency testing scheme. Sensitivity and analytical sensitivity parameters are efficiently covered in the programmes thanks to the careful selection of serum samples. Different strains are also included in the schemes when necessary. Reports are complete and include a critical analysis of results. Prices are reasonable. The PTS team is reactive, efficient and open to dialogue with participants, taking into account our comments and suggestions."

"Thanks to our participation in GD's PTS, we as a laboratory are able to monitor, assess and where necessary improve the performance of our lab using a large number of tests. The results can be submitted in reports to clients and management to demonstrate the quality of our analyses. Additionally the very informative reports are a handy instrument to show the quality of other test kits available on the market that have not yet been used in the lab. The PTS thus act as an instrument to constantly improve the quality of our analyses."
