The first days of the workshop “Assessment of Performance & Uncertainty in Qualitative Chemical Analysis” were very interesting with around 500 live participants: 86% find the evaluation of the uncertainty in qualitative analysis relevant! citac.cc/wp-content/upl… #CITAC #Eurachem

We're pleased to announce the publication of our new guide, "Assessment of performance and uncertainty in qualitative chemical analysis". The new guide provides tools for evaluating the performance and uncertainty in qualitative analysis. eurachem.org/index.php/news…

The Eurachem/CITAC guide "Assessment of performance and uncertainty in qualitative chemical analysis" has been published. eurachem.org/index.php/publ…. We believe this guide will be useful for many analysts. #qualitativeanalysis #uncertainty #validation #qualityassurance

Today our general Assembly falls on World Metrology Day - which we think is perfect! Lots of excellent resources on metrology for health collected by the #WorldMetrology team to view at worldmetrologyday.org/links.html

Interesting conclusions from the breakout discussion on "Software validation" led by @slrellison_lgc, further guidance in this area would be very welcome

Eurachem recently published the second edition of the gide "Use of uncertainty information in compliance assessment "eurachem.org/index.php/publ…. Bertil Magnusson summarises key points within the guide, including different types of decision rules

Ricardo Silva from @FC_UL explains in detail an approach to estimate uncertainty from in-house validation data using the top down approach and recognises the challenges involved

This is very useful summary of criteria for selecting appropriate PT schemes

Eurachem's Uncertainty from Sampling WG has published an Information Leaflet for this - see eurachem.org/index.php/publ…

Great presentation on "Detection limits and detection capability" by Steve @slrellison_lgc. Remember that all numerical values are valid estimates! And consider asymmetrix/truncated interval close to ZERO. @EurachemEurope

"Assessmentt of qualitative analysis performance and uncertainty" by Ricardo Silva @silvaricardo001 - an enthusiastic and very educational presentation @EurachemEurope

Poster session time! Flash presentations and many posters to view online.

Vicki Barwick from @NML_ChemBioGC is now presenting on planning validation studies and the importance of using planning templates #analyticalquality

Kyriakos Tsimillis from Eurachem Cyprus starts the second day of the Eurachem workshop presenting on Ensuring Quality: A key element in analytical and clinical laboratories. He sets the scene covering some key definitions:
