Lectures:
1. Introduction: Basic concepts of quality management. The concept, principles and tools of quality management in the analytical laboratory.
2. Quality management: goals, tools, control mechanisms.
3. Development of analytical methods: selection of appropriate methods, work practices, standard operating procedures (SOP).
4. Calibration of analytical methods: calibration procedures, selection and frequency of calibration procedures.
5. Validation of analytical methods : validation tools and strategies of their choice.
6. Reference materials : types of reference materials , methods and frequency of use.
7. Control charts : purpose, types, structure, method of use, statistical process control.
8. Uncertainty of analytical measurements: the types of mistakes relationship mistakes and uncertainty assessment methods, presentation of results, the effect of uncertainty in comparing the results to the limits.
