After three successful rounds with a continuously growing number of participants, QuoData is pleased to announce the next round of the interlaboratory trial “Hormonal Effects 2026,” dedicated to in vitro bioassays for the effect-based determination of hormonal activity in water and food samples. This external quality assessment (EQA) will take place in autumn 2026 and is organized by QuoData GmbH in cooperation with QD Labs.

The interlaboratory trial provides participating laboratories with the following opportunities:

QuoData at the InnovationForum Kunststofftechnik 2026

On April 21, 2026, QuoData will participate in the Innovation Forum Plastics Technology in Villingen-Schwenningen. The event is organized by the Kunststoff-Institut Lüdenscheid in cooperation with Technology Mountains e.V. and the IHK Schwarzwald-Baar-Heuberg.

Modern industrial operations demand predictive maintenance strategies backed by robust quality assurance. Yet many organizations struggle with a critical challenge: measurement uncertainty in sensor systems undermines the very foundation of reliable condition monitoring and accurate failure prediction.

In food microbiology and toxicology, as in many scientific disciplines, method validation can be a challenging task. The complexity stems not only from the strict experimental design and data requirements, but also from the advanced statistical modeling involved and the demand for structured, transparent documentation. Yet these are precisely the foundations for ensuring method reliability, laboratory quality assurance, and regulatory compliance.
