Quality Assurance in the Analytical Chemistry Laboratory

Quality Assurance in the Analytical Chemistry Laboratory

Analytical chemical results touch everyones lives can we eat the food? do I have a disease? did the defendant leave his DNA at the crime scene? should I invest in that gold mine? When a chemist measures something how do we know that the result is appropriate? What is fit for purpose in the context of analytical chemistry? Many manufacturing and service companies have embraced traditional statistical approaches to quality assurance, and these have been adopted by analytical chemistry laboratories. However the right chemical answer is never known, so there is not a direct parallel with the manufacture of ball bearings which can be measured and assessed. The customer of the analytical services relies on the quality assurance and quality control procedures adopted by the laboratory. It is the totality of the QA effort, perhaps first brought together in this text, that gives the customer confidence in the result. QA in the Analytical Chemistry Laboratory takes the reader through all aspects of QA, from the statistical basics and quality control tools to becoming accredited to international standards. The latest understanding of concepts such as measurement uncertainty and metrological traceability are explained for a working chemist or her client. How to design experiments to optimize an analytical process is included, together with the necessary statistics to analyze the results.

Analytical Chemistry for Technicians

Analytical Chemistry for Technicians, Third Edition (Analytical Chemistry for Technicians) by: John Kenkel
Publisher: CRC Press | 3 edition (29 Oct 2002) | ISBN: 1566705193 | Pages: 584 | PDF | 15.9 MB

Like its bestselling predecessors, this thoroughly updated third edition is a powerful training tool for entry-level chemistry technicians. It explains analytical chemistry and instrumental analysis principles and how to apply them in the real world. It includes over 50 workplace scene side boxes that illustrate techniques; a CD that enhances training activities; and a working LIMS system that can be used in training programs. It provides over sixty experiments specifically relevant to the laboratory technician and each chapter contains a Questions and Problems section. The author uses the Voluntary Industry Standards for chemical process industry technicians.

." . . this book can be a valuable resource for any chemistry student and indeed, for practitioners, laboratory scientists, teachers, and professors-anyone who needs to know something about how laboratory analyses are carried out...Numerous experiments and questions at the end of the chapter illustrate concepts and manipulations taught in that chapter. The accompanying CD-ROM illustrates many of the concepts presented in the book and is designed to reinforce what has been learned. Summing up: Highly Recommended" -J.A. Siegel, Michigan State University "[The book has] comprehensive coverage of the analytical techniques students will most likely encounter when entering an industrial position. [Charts] provide a quick and useful summary of key ideas." - Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 82, No. 1, January 2005
