Sample Management for Non-Specialists

Laboratory and Quality Management|2 days|Classroom or live online

Sample Management for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through method validation and equipment calibration without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with document control, measurement uncertainty and data integrity in their own organisation.

Bring document control into line with current good practice, measured against good laboratory practice
Explain measurement uncertainty to someone who does not do the work
