Book Description
This report summarizes proceedings of a workshop on Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) in laboratory bioassays of dredged material. The workshop was sponsored by the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES). Attendees included individuals from academia, industry, and government with expertise in sediment toxicity testing and/or QA/QC. Topics included data quality objectives; biological procedures; sample handling storage and shipment; data recording, reduction, validation, and reporting; internal quality control checks; and corrective action. The report provides generic guidance under each of these topic headings. Appendices to the report include sample checklist, data reporting forms, chain-of-custody sheets, and laboratory testing contract indemnification forms. Comparability, Completeness, Corrective action, Data quality, Data validation, Laboratory sediment bioassays, Performance criteria, Quality assurance, Quality control.

Quality Control and Quality Assurance Procedures for Level 1 Health Effects Bioassays
Author: David Brusick
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biological assay
Languages : en
Pages : 2
Book Description
The purpose of this project was to develop a quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) document for the EPA Level 1 environmental assessment biological testing program. This manual, developed as part of this program, supplements the Level 1 biological testing procedures manual (1). Although the Level 1 procedures manual presents detailed information on sample preparation, bioassay procedures, data evaluation, and sample ranking, the Level 1 manual describes the role and recommended use of laboratory QC and QA procedures in the Level 1 biological testing program. IERL-RTP's QA audit sample program is presented in the QC/QA manual. In this program, audit samples are made available to laboratories wishing to verify proficiency in conducting Level 1 bioassays. Also described is the documentation required for test material sampling, processing, storage, and disposal. The manual identifies protocol steps for each Level 1 health effects bioassay and describes the QC and documentation procedures required to meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Good Laboratory Practice Regulations. In addition to recommendations for QC and QA procedures, the document supplies sample forms which may be used by laboratories that have not developed their own standard data recording forms. QC and QA procedures vary somewhat between laboratories, and this document serves as a model, but should not be viewed as the only acceptable approach to QC and QA. These QC and QA procedures are not intended to restrict test performance or improvements in study designs, but are critical to maintain uniformity of data generation, documentation, and interpretation.

Author:
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 142008271X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
A Practical Tool for Learning New Methods Quality assurance and measurement uncertainty in analytical laboratories has become increasingly important. To meet increased scrutiny and keep up with new methods, practitioners very often have to rely on self-study. A practical textbook for students and a self-study tool for analytical laboratory employees, Quality Assurance and Quality Control in the Analytical Chemical Laboratory: A Practical Approach defines the tools used in QA/QC, especially the application of statistical tools during analytical data treatment. Unified Coverage of QA in Analytical Chemistry Clearly written and logically organized, this book delineates the concepts of practical QA/QC, taking a generic approach that can be applied to any field of analysis. Using an approach grounded in hands-on experience, the book begins with the theory behind quality control systems and then moves on to discuss examples of tools such as validation parameter measurements, the use of statistical tests, counting the margin of error, and estimating uncertainty. The authors draw on their experience in uncertainty estimation, traceability, reference materials, statistics, proficiency tests, and method validation to provide practical guidance on each step of the process. Extended Coverage of QC/QA in Analytical and Testing Laboratories Presenting guidance on all aspects of QA and measurement results, the book covers QC/QA in a more complex and extended manner than other books on this topic. This range of coverage supplies an integrated view on measures like the use of reference materials and method validation. With worked-out examples and Excel spreadsheets that users can use to try the concepts themselves, the book provides not only know-what but know-how.
