Why Should You Attend:
Laboratories are often confused about the uncertainty of measurement (MU). Further ambiguity on the subject arises as to:
- What is needed to meet the ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2005 requirements?
- What data should be collected?
- How to analyze the data?
This course will address these questions and discuss a practical step by step approach specifically applicable to microbiology.
Agenda
Areas Covered in the Webinar:- Statistical approaches to measuring precision
- Using precision of a method for calculating MU
- MU and MPN methods
- How to make practical use of MU data
- Applying MU concepts to qualitative methods
