Method validation
| Event Type: | Training Course | | Location: | Teddington | | Date: | 04/12/2007 | | Duration: | 3 days | | Cost: | �1190 + VAT |
Method validation is the process that provides evidence that a given analytical method, when correctly applied, produces results that are fit for purpose. No matter how well a method performs elsewhere, analysts need to confirm that the method is valid when applied in their laboratory. There is now a much greater emphasis on method validation in the ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation standard. Through a number of workshops, delegates build a validation protocol for a method of their choice.
What are the benefits?
