5th August 2011 | Article in Accreditation and Quality Assurance
Steffen Uhlig published in collaboration with L. Niewöhner and P. Gowik an article in the journal “Accreditation and Quality Assurance”.
Under the title “Can the usual validation standard series for quantitative methods, ISO 5725, be also applied for qualitative methods?” an alternative approach to determine precision for qualitative test methods is presented.
It is directly associated with ISO 5725, but comprises meaningful information about the precision of qualitative test methods which distinguishes the approach from the one suggested by Wilrich and Wehling et al..

29th June 2011 | Manuscript accepted for publication in Journal of Chromatography A!
A manuscript on statistical methods of congener profile analysis of samples contaminated with dioxin and dioxin-like compounds has been accepted for publication in Journal of Chromatography A.
In this article we demonstrate that common methods cannot be employed to reach court-proof decisions, i.e. decisions which meet court evidentiary standards.
An alternative approach to analyzing congener profiles based on mathematical statistics is briefly presented, allowing reliable, court-proof decisions. Some elements of this approach are available for free as a web service.
Publication in Journal of Chromatography A: Are the Results of Customary Methods for Analyzing Dioxin and Dioxin-like Compound Congener Profiles Court-Proof?
