Method Validation

Method validation (3 Days non-residential)

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 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?

This course will help delegates understand method validation and its requirements; select and apply the statistics required during method validation; select and use the appropriate types of method validation studies and appreciate and understand the links with measurement uncertainty.

The course will cover:

Day 1

Day 2
