Eurachem Ireland-Facilitated Discussion on Replicate AnalysisSep 16th 2021 - Held remotely
A targeted discussion on the topic of replicate analysis was organised and facilitated by members of Eurachem Ireland, with Quality representatives from a number of organisations across the network. The aim was to explore the different approaches to replicate analysis and management of replicate results, with a view to understanding the approach taken by different labs, and the reasons for these approaches.
See here for summary document of discussion on replicate analysis.

What is TrainMiC?
TrainMiC is a European Programme that aims to provide harmonised training to those working in analytical chemistry throughout Europe and is applicable in many different sectors (environment, food, consumer protection, etc.). The training courses are developed, validated and regularly updated by a European team of experts. Attendance at a TrainMiC workshop should help to improve the quality of chemical measurements and also help with interpreting some of the requirements of ISO 17025. There are currently nine modules in the TrainMiC syllabus. The entire syllabus can therefore be covered in three workshops. Eurachem Ireland facilitates the running of one of these day long workshops each spring meaning that the entire syllabus can be covered in a three year period. Attendance at part I or II is not necessary for attendance at part III.
