Thanks to the work of our colleagues in Germany, the Eurachem Method Validation Working Group are pleased to publish German translations of our Validation Guide Supplements on planning and use of blanks, covering the planning and reporting of validation studies.
The planning supplement is in the form of a template for planning the evaluation of chosen performance characteristics, which can form the basis of a validation report. The supplement also contains a checklist to assist with validation planning.
The supplementary guidance on blanks in method validation describes the different types of blanks which may be used during method validation. It provides guidance for validation in situations where it may be difficult to obtain a suitable blank matrix.
Owing to continuing uncertainty about global travel restrictions through 2021, Eurachem have regretfully decided to further defer the 10th Eurachem Workshop on Proficiency Testing in Analytical Chemistry, Microbiology and Laboratory Medicine.
The workshop will now be held in Windsor, UK, on 26-29 September 2022. We hope that this will make for a more useful and successful workshop for all the participants.
We are also pleased to say that registration for the 2022 event is now open on the conference website.
The Eurachem method Validation Working group is pleased to announce the publication of a new Information Leaflet introducing method validation. The new leaflet gives a brief introduction to the overall process of validation, shows the key performance characteristics to be studied, and provides pointers to more detailed guidance.
