Communicating with analytical chemists about quality assurance

OSTI ID:6002032
Analytical chemists are beginning to recognize the desirability of applying quality assurance principles to laboratory operations. They generally do not understand the concepts of quality assurance and they tend to misuse the term quality assurance. On the other hand, analytical chemists have been concerned about the quality of their measurement data for a long time. Over the years they have established effective practices to control laboratory operations to avoid losses and failures. The problem has been to communicate with analytical chemists in a way that will give them an adequate understanding of what quality assurance is all about and how to apply it to their laboratory operations; and, at the same time, give credit for the many good control practices already in use. This paper discusses the subject and presents an approach currently being developed to improve analytical chemists' knowledge and use of quality assurance.
