Interlaboratory studies
General information
Interlaboratory studies represent an indispensable instrument for:
- the assessment of laboratory performance (proficiency tests)
- in-house analytical quality assurance
- evaluating the performance of newly developed measurement methods (method validation)
- the certification of reference materials
Carrying out interlaboratory studies is expensive and time-consuming. Efficient design and performance of the various tasks involved is therefore essential.
This is where QuoData comes in.
With our wide-ranging experience and unique expertise, we are both your reliable outsourcing partner for the performance of concrete tasks, and the insightful and innovative specialists your need when standard approaches prove inadequate.
Instead of a selection of routine procedures, we offer the know-how to develop original tailor-made solutions that optimally suit the increasingly complex requirements of our customers. Indeed, the optimal design and evaluation of interlaboratory studies is one of our core competencies, an area in which our expertise is increasingly acknowledged beyond Germany and Europe.
This is borne out in the role we are playing in the elaboration of the most important international standards for proficiency tests and collaborative studies. Specifically: ISO 16140, ISO 5725, ISO 15725 and ISO 13528 are currently being revised with a view to incorporating procedures developed by QuoData.
Of particular interest is how to mobilize the latent information lying around in the vast datascape a particular study has yielded. Innovative study designs and analytical algorithms can exploit this untapped potential and extract value.
