It is necessary to balance cost of QC & QA against the benefit in reducing quality failures to an acceptable (non-zero) level, you will learn how develop laboratory documents and quality. Attendees will receive practical instructions on the development, implementation and long-term maintenance of an effective laboratory quality system.

Laboratory supervisors, chemists, and senior technicians working in QA/QC

This interactive Training will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas and will include;
