The EDQM organises B-PTS studies in the fields of:

• serology (anti-HCV, anti-HIV/p24, anti-Treponema, HBsAg/Anti-HBc),
• nucleic acid testing (NAT) (HBV/HCV/HIV),
• immunohaematology (ABO, Rhesus, extended phenotyping and irregular antibodies),
• microbiology (bacterial testing of platelet components).

The EDQM continuously evaluates the need for other potential B-PTS studies.

A list of B-PTS studies for the current year is available on the B-PTS page on our website (a link is provided on the right side of the page).
