i've been running a internal qa scheme for manual urine testing for several
years using 'manufactured urine. Its stable for at least a week and avoids
ethical issues etc. I suppose the prep is a bit time consuming and staff
time may be an issue but let me know if you want details.

Subject: Urine EQA
Does anyone have any experience with using aliquots of local urine samples
(eg from Diabetes/Renal patients) for local EQA of manually read urine
dipsticks?
We have plenty material, but it would help to know if it is practical before
I go through the trauma of the ethics committee.
