Analytical Quality Training from Industrial Analytical and LGC Science Group
Industrial Analytical and LGC have a long history in supporting laboratories through the production and supply of reference materials and measurement standards. But did you know that we also offer training to assist laboratories in ensuring the quality of their measurement results? LGC has been delivering a programme of analytical quality training courses since 1997 and during this time we have trained around 1850 delegates from 300 companies. Topics covered include:
- statistics for analysts
- measurement uncertainty
- method validation
- proficiency testing
- quality systems and achieving accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025
- establishing traceability of measurement results
- ISO Guide 34 requirements for reference material producers
- laboratory process improvement
Industrial Analytical joined the LGC group of companies in November 2011 and we are now pleased to be able to offer analytical quality training to customers in South Africa and neighbouring countries. The attached brochure gives details of our current training programme. Courses can be hosted by Industrial Analytical or delivered at your site. We recognise that the needs of individual organisations may differ so a customised solution is often required. We can offer bespoke courses that provide a practical and cost effective answer to your specific training requirements.
For further information and to discuss your training requirements please contact Industrial Analytical (Pty) Ltd. at info@industrialanalytical.co.za or LGC at training@lgcgroup.com.
The NEW LoGiCal® choice for Reference Materials
LoGiCal is a new range of certified reference materials from LGC, manufactured in house to the highest quality standards and certification levels at LGC’s production facilities in Europe. The new range offers scientists a choice of solutions and powders prepared according to the principles of ISO Guide 34 – with the solutions being fully ISO Guide 34 certified – each supplied with its own detailed Certificate of Analysis. As well as native substances, there is a wide selection of stable isotope labelled materials for use with mass spectrometry and other analytical techniques. Initially focusing on the needs of forensic and clinical laboratories, the new product range provides access to a wide range of reference materials, including drugs of abuse, prescription drugs and drug metabolites.
The LoGiCal range is exclusively available from – and distributed globally by – LGC Standards, with stocks maintained locally at LGC Standards offices to eliminate delays due to the complex, lengthy import procedures associated with the procurement of controlled substances.
Our customer commitments
- Quality: Certified reference materials produced under ISO 34 and ISO 17025 guidelines to satisfy your accreditation and certification requirements.
- Commitment: In-house forensic, clinical and analytical experts in combination with in-country representatives to support your use of these reference materials.
- Compliance: Fully satisfy national and international labelling and other requirements for transportation and health and safety.
- Competence: Expertise based on over 30 years of reference material production and over 70 years of forensic and clinical experience to support your current requirements and anticipate your future needs.
- Choice: A broad and continually developing product range to ensure you can obtain the reference materials you require.
LoGiCal Standards: the most up-to-date range of quality assured drug reference materials.
