Method validation & measurement uncertainty for Microbiology and Analytical testing laboratories

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS COURSE IS AN EXCLUSIVELY ON-SITE WORKSHOP (For 6 delegates or more)

Overview

ISO 17025 is implemented by laboratories to ensure confidence in the results they deliver. One of the requirements in this Standard is selection, verification and validation of methods. This can be a daunting task and there is often little guidance as to the way in which method validation should be performed.

The Progress Excellence Approach

Dissecting the method validation requirements of ISO 17025.
Explanation of the contents and lay-out of a validation report.
Experimental design for validation criteria.
Practical, worked examples of each of the validation criteria, e.g. calibration accuracy, working range, precision, LOD, LOQ, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, trueness and bias and recovery data, workability (repeatability & robustness), stability and total uncertainty of methods.

Who should attend?

Quality Managers
Technical Managers
Laboratory Managers
Laboratory staff tasked with method validation

Entry requirements

Delegates must have a basic understanding of laboratory work and statistical terms.
