The issue of quality assurance in the analytical chemistry laboratory has become of great importance in recent years. Quality in the Analytical Laboratory introduces the reader to the whole concept of quality assurance. It discusses how all aspects of chemical analysis, from sampling and method selection to choice of equipment and the taking and reporting of measurements affect the quality of analytical data. Finally, the implementation and use of Quality Systems are covered.
Quality in the Analytical Laboratory is an indispensable volume for all those working in analytical chemistry laboratories, for all students of chemistry, whether specialising in analytical chemistry or not, and for laboratory managers wishing to introduce quality assurance methods into their laboratories. It is written by a team of members of staff at LGC, each of whom has experience of working to international quality standards.
This is an open learning text that enables readers to learn at their own pace about all aspects of assuring quality in laboratory work.
