Один из трех циклических видов деятельности по обеспечению качества, контроль качества, представляет собой комплексную деятельность по сертификации системы, находящейся под статистическим контролем.
Эти действия включают в себя диаграммы контроля качества, проверку квалификации, документирование и архивирование.
График контроля качества представляет собой последовательный график одной характеристики анализа, которая может выступать в качестве качественного индикатора.
Специфическая характеристика анализа сравнивается с известным значением характеристик исходного материала. Проверка условий анализа требуется, когда измеренное значение выходит за пределы контролируемых пределов для выбранного стандартного отклонения от эталонного значения.
Проверка квалификации — это анализ производительности в нескольких лабораториях. Результаты каждой лаборатории сравниваются со средним значением результатов из всех лабораторий в качестве эталона или с сертифицированным эталонным материалом. Вариации, полученные в разных лабораториях, характеризуются z-баллом.

Контроль качества

Контроль качества — это одно из трех циклических мероприятий по обеспечению качества, которые помогают поддерживать систему под статистическим контролем. Типичные мероприятия по контролю качества включают создание карт контроля качества, проведение тестирования квалификации, а также документирование и архивирование результатов.

Контроль качества помогает отслеживать данные, визуализировать тенденции и выявлять отклонения, что упрощает обнаружение отклонений, которые могут повлиять на точность анализа. Один из способов сделать это — построение карты контроля качества, на которой отображаются значения одной или нескольких аналитических характеристик с течением времени. Эти характеристики постоянно контролируются и измеряются на разных этапах анализа. Каждое измеренное значение сравнивается с известным значением эталонного материала. Проверка требуется, если измеренное значение выходит за пределы контролируемых пределов, которые обычно определяются величиной стандартного отклонения от эталонного значения. При необходимости требуются изменения условий анализа для поддержания статистического контроля системы.

Проверка квалификации — это одновременный анализ, проводимый в нескольких лабораториях. Среднее значение результатов, полученных во всех лабораториях, или известное стандартное эталонное значение используется для сравнения вариации результатов из отдельных лабораторий. Оценка Z оценивает это отклонение значений от эталонного значения.

Документирование и архивирование являются критически важными аспектами обеспечения качества, которые обеспечивают прозрачность и прослеживаемость лабораторного процесса. Каждая деятельность, связанная с контролем и обеспечением качества, должна быть надлежащим образом документирована, включая учет образцов, калибровку приборов, стандартные операционные процедуры и результаты. Этот процесс включает создание полного архива, который служит справочной базой для будущих проверок.

Каждый документ должен четко прослеживаться до лица, ответственного за его создание или управление. Для этого зачастую требуется, чтобы документы были подписаны и датированы вовлеченным лицом, что добавляет подотчетности процессу. Надлежащее документирование не только поддерживает статистический контроль системы, но и играет ключевую роль в выявлении изменений в процессах контроля качества. Точный архив гарантирует, что прошлые данные могут быть извлечены, оценены и использованы для принятия обоснованных решений о будущих анализах.

Quality Control

quality control charts and lab records

Quality control charts, proficiency testing, and lab records are key parts of quality control in a laboratory. These steps help keep a system under statistical control. They also help track data, show trends, and spot variations that may affect the accuracy of an analysis.

One common tool is a quality control chart. This chart plots one or more analytical characteristics over time. The measured values are taken at different times during the analysis and compared with the known value of reference material. If a result falls outside the controlled limits, usually set by standard deviation from the reference value, the sample needs inspection. The analysis conditions may then be adjusted to keep the system under statistical control.

Proficiency testing is another quality control activity. It involves the same sample or analysis being run across multiple laboratories at the same time. The mean result from all labs, or a known standard reference value, is used to compare how much individual lab results vary. A Z score is then used to estimate how far each value is from the reference value.

Documentation and archiving are also critical in quality assurance. Every step related to quality control should be recorded, including sample custody, instrument calibration, standard operating procedures, and results. These records create a clear reference for later checks and must trace back to the person responsible. Signing and dating documents adds accountability. Good archives make past data easy to retrieve, review, and use for future decisions.

development of analytical methods

Analytical Methods: Technique to Protocol

Analytical methods follow a clear path from technique to protocol. In analytical chemistry, a technique is the scientific principle used to explain a chemical measurement. A method applies that technique to a sample of interest. The next steps are procedure and protocol. A procedure gives the directions for carrying out the analysis with an analytical method. A protocol is the detailed set of guidelines for that procedure, and it should be followed closely to get the desired results. <br...

Quality Checks in Analytical Testing

Quality assurance in analytical testing brings together the checks that help a system perform properly. It includes quality control, quality assessment, and internal corrective measures. These parts work in a cycle to support reliable results. Quality control happens before and during the analysis. Quality assessment takes place during and after the investigation. Internal corrective measures are then based on the results of post-analysis quality assessment, or they may be applied before a new...

data validation

How Analytical Methods Are Checked

Method validation checks whether an analytical chemistry method gives reliable results. It is especially important when the same method is used with different sample matrices or when the procedure is changed. Validation helps show that the method still meets acceptable standards in each case. Several key checks are used in method validation. Specificity means the method can measure the target analyte without interference from other substances. Linearity means the result changes in direct...

qualitative analysis

Classical and Instrumental Sample ID

Qualitative analysis identifies the elements, ions, or compounds in an unknown sample. It is the first step in the hierarchy of analytical goals. That makes it the starting point for scientific study before quantitative analysis or other forms of analysis. Two main approaches are used in qualitative analysis: classical methods and instrumental methods. Classical methods depend on the visible or sensory result of a chemical reaction, such as a color change, a precipitate, or even a smell. These...

quantitative analysis

Measuring Analyte Concentration

Quantitative analysis measures the amount of a specific substance, called the analyte, in a sample. If the sample composition is unknown, qualitative analysis comes first. That step identifies the components so the correct substances can be measured during the quantitative phase. This method depends on two key measurements. Scientists measure the sample quantity and also a property that is proportional to the amount of analyte. Together, these measurements help determine the analyte...

instrument calibration

Calibrating Lab Instruments for Accurate Results

Calibration helps lab instruments produce accurate and consistent results. It is important in manufacturing, healthcare, testing laboratories, and scientific research. Each instrument needs a calibration process that matches its design and function. This process improves data accuracy and helps results stay reliable. An analytical balance measures mass and needs regular calibration to stay precise. It is calibrated by comparing its readings with known standard weights. These weights act as...

glassware calibration

Calibrating Lab Glassware for Accurate Volume

Calibrating lab glassware helps students measure liquids accurately in the analytical laboratory. It reduces volume errors and supports consistent results across measurements. This matters when using volumetric flasks, pipettes, burettes, and other tools that depend on precise volume readings. Volumetric flasks are used to prepare aqueous solutions with a precise final volume. They have a calibration line on the neck. To calibrate one, fill it with distilled water until the meniscus, the...

standard solutions

Preparing Standard Solutions in the Lab

Standard solutions are prepared to have a precisely known concentration or composition. In analytical chemistry, this accuracy is important because it supports reliable results. A primary standard is a highly pure, stable substance with a high molar mass. It is fully soluble in water, which is the most commonly used solvent in analytical chemistry. A primary standard solution can be used to standardize a secondary standard. Secondary standards have known concentrations, but they are usually...

blank solutions

Blank Solutions in Analytical Testing

Blank solutions are used in analytical testing to show the background signal before a sample is measured. A blank solution does not contain the analyte, which is the substance of interest being tested or measured. It is usually made with the same reagents and procedure as the sample solution, but without the analyte. The main purpose of a blank solution is to control for background interference and contamination. Reagents, solvents, or lab equipment can sometimes create a detectable signal on...

sampling methods: overview

How Sampling Shapes Lab Results

Sampling shapes lab results by determining how a smaller sample represents a larger population. In analytical chemistry, testing an entire population is often impractical or impossible, so samples are collected to make inferences about the whole group. The sampling method is the process used to choose individuals or items for that sample. Common sampling methods include random, judgemental, systematic, stratified, and cluster sampling. Each method can affect the quality of the data in a...

sampling methods: sample types

Sampling Materials in Solid, Liquid, Gas

Sampling materials are grouped as solid, liquid, or gas. The type of sample helps decide the right collection method. Solid samples can include sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Sediment sampling from water bodies can be done in two common ways. Grab sampling uses a device to collect a discrete sample from the bottom with minimal disturbance. These samples may not show the full area because conditions can vary from place to place. Piston coring collects a...

sampling plans

Choosing Samples for Reliable Results

Sampling is a key step in analytical chemistry. It helps researchers collect data that represents a larger population. The main sampling methods in this topic are random, judgmental, systematic, stratified, and cluster sampling. Random sampling gives each member of the population an equal chance of being chosen. Researchers often use a random number generator or a lottery-style method. For example, a polymer sheet can be divided into 1 cm x 1 cm sections, and 10 sections can be selected at...

sample preparation for analysis: overview

Preparing Samples by State and Form

Sample preparation depends on the state and form of the sample before analysis. It helps make the sample ready for accurate measurement. The main goal is to extract the analyte, which is the substance being measured, and remove parts that could interfere with the analysis. Solid samples often need the most handling. Large solids are usually ground, crushed, or milled to make them smaller and increase surface area. The sample is then sieved and mixed so it has a uniform composition. After that,...

Preparing Complex Samples for Analysis

Preparing complex samples for analysis often requires special digestion and fusion methods. Samples with inorganic or organic material can be hard to dissolve or break down. Common sample preparation methods include acid digestion, fusion, dry ashing, and wet digestion. These steps help turn difficult samples into forms that can be tested reliably and again with similar results. Acid digestion is often used for inorganic materials that do not dissolve in water. It is useful for soil and...

sample handling

Sample Transport and Storage Basics

Sample transport and storage help keep specimens intact before testing. Moving a sample from the collection point to the laboratory requires careful handling. The sample should be sealed well and clearly labeled. These steps help prevent cross-contamination and support reliable results. Temperature control is also important during transport. Some samples travel in insulated containers, cool packs, or refrigerated vehicles so they stay within the needed temperature range. After the samples...

contaminants and errors

Sampling Errors in Sample Preparation

Sampling errors in sample preparation can affect the accuracy of laboratory results. Two common problems are concentration bias from poor sample splitting and contamination from reducing particle size by grinding or homogenization. Recognizing these errors helps make analysis more reliable. The number of samples also matters when a target population follows a normal distribution. In that case, the sample size ns can be found with a formula that uses the t-value for the chosen confidence level,...
