Validation laboratory

A solution to this dilemma is to place soil samples immediately in a freezer located in the field, the temperature of which is continuously monitored, as described previously. Laboratory-prepared storage study samples can then be used to determine test substance stability under freezer storage conditions that match those used in the field and during transportation and final storage. If a valid laboratory storage stability... 

Commercial software (e.g. word processing, database and statistical programmes) may be considered to be sufficiently validated. However, there may be a need to validate laboratory software configuration/modilications. 

A carefully, comprehensively designed study facilitates study conduct. Two key elements of study conduct are sample collection and laboratory analysis. The choice of matrix depends on both theoretical and practical considerations. Those include the tissue most likely to represent the biomarker route of exposure and the ease of obtaining samples. Careful attention to collection and shipping from field to laboratory is a prerequisite for valid laboratory analysis. The choice of analytic laboratory methods is...

About 40 kg of fly ash was collected from an average municipal waste incinerator. Three samples, taken randomly from the bulk material, were analysed, using validated laboratory procedures, in order to ensure that the levels of the twelve target congeners were adequate for certification (i.e. at least three times the limits of detection of MS). The collected material fulfilled these requirements it was treated in separate batches of 330 g which were transferred into 2 L erlenmeyer flasks and suspended in a mixture of 1 L bidistilled water and 100 mL of 12.5 mol L hydrochloric acid. The suspension was stirred magnetically for 2 h. The bulk of the fly ash was separated from the supernatant after centrifugation. The precipitate was then re-suspended several times...

Although farm animals can adapt to diets poor in iodine, the prevention of deficiency requires the use of simple and valid laboratory criteria to diagnose iodine deficiency. As stated above, the thyroid iodine content of hypothyroid animals with goiter is low. As a result levels ofT4 in the serum are undetectable, but reduction of T3, the more active thyroid hormone, only occurs if iodine deficiency is severe. Elevation ofT3 may occur in early hypothyroidism however, this is not consistent and can not therefore be used to diagnose iodine deficiency (Schone et al, 1991). 

All the tests are designed for screening, and as such should be used only for preliminary screening for the presence of the nut residue. The validity of results obtained with the tests should preferably be viewed in conjunction with data from a validated laboratory assay (Table 20.8). Irrespective of the shade of a line observed in any of the lateral flow tests, a response is recorded (i.e., a positive for a test line appearing in two-line tests to indicate the presence of nut proteins). Additionally, a negative test result cannot exclude the possibility that the food contains the nut proteins because they are either distributed unevenly or may be below the detection limit of the test. 

The use of Shewhart control charts with multiple decision rules provide a more sensitive and reliable quality control than Shewhart control with simple decision rules. However, it should be noticed that the multiple decision rules are only valid if the conventional true value pt and the standard deviation oy are known. In practice this means that (jl-t is traceable to a certified reference material (CRM) or established using a definitive method by a validated laboratory [5], and 0-7 is established by method evaluation with a sufficiently high number of method evaluation samples.
