Participation in Proficiency Testing (PT) is an important part of assuring the quality of test results in a laboratory. The time and effort required can be costly, especially for laboratories performing many different tests, so selecting the most appropriate PT scheme is very important. Several PT schemes are often available for the same area of testing, so this leaflet focuses on key questions that can help laboratories choose those PT schemes that are best suited for their needs.&nbsp;<h4>Parameters included in the PT&nbsp;</h4>Are the matrices, analytes, and/or concentration levels of the test items offered by the PT scheme similar to those of samples encountered in the everyday practice of the laboratory? For example:&nbsp;Example 1: The levels of contaminants in a PT scheme for drinking water will be quite different from those expected in industrial wastes.&nbsp;A laboratory testing industrial wastes could:&nbsp;<ul><li>Participate, taking into account the limitations;&nbsp;</li><li>Not participate at all.&nbsp;</li></ul>Example 2: PT schemes for sequencing of DNA may offer either tissue samples or DNA extracts.&nbsp;Depending on its choice, the laboratory’s competence will be assessed for:&nbsp;<ul><li>The whole test;&nbsp;</li><li>The sequencing step only.&nbsp;</li></ul><h4>Strategies for data collection and analysis&nbsp;</h4>Are the strategies applied by the PT provider suitable for the needs of the laboratory? Factors to be considered include:&nbsp;<ul><li>Description of the statistical design applied;&nbsp;</li><li>Number of test items to be analysed and/or number of replicates requested;&nbsp;</li><li>Procedures for data collection from participants (e.g. submission by fax, e-mails or web-portals);&nbsp;</li><li>Procedures for comparison of results obtained by different measurement procedures;&nbsp;</li><li>Number and origin of participants;&nbsp;</li><li>Number of participants using the same measurement procedure as the laboratory; and&nbsp;</li><li>Methods and criteria used for performance assessment.&nbsp;</li></ul>The laboratory should also consider whether its customers, accreditation bodies and/or regulatory bodies have any specific requirements on statistical design.&nbsp;Example 3: A laboratory determines the fat content in milk powder, cereals and feed using three operationally defined measurement procedures (Röse Gottlieb, direct fat extraction, and fat determination by hydrolysis). Each measurement procedure could give different results for each matrix. It is important for the laboratory to check whether the different measurement procedures are taken into consideration for each matrix in the PT scheme<h4>Evaluation of performance&nbsp;</h4>Is the method used for assessing the participants’ performance (e.g. z score) clearly described by the PT provider and understood by the laboratory?Example 4: A laboratory may be interested in reporting the measurement uncertainty on its PT results so this can be taken into account in the performance evaluation, but the approach of the PT provider does not include this.&nbsp;Are the criteria used by the PT provider for performance evaluation compatible with the type of work undertaken by the laboratory and/or the relevant legislation?&nbsp;Example 5: A laboratory performing confirmatory analyses may look for more restrictive criteria for performance evaluation than laboratories using simpler screening techniques.&nbsp;<h4>Trust in the PT provider&nbsp;</h4>How can a laboratory assess the competence of a PT provider? Consider:&nbsp;<ul><li>Compliance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17043, e.g. accreditation;&nbsp;</li><li>Experience;&nbsp;</li><li>Reliability of the assigned values; and&nbsp;</li><li>Fitness for purpose of criteria for proficiency assessment.&nbsp;</li></ul><h4>Communication&nbsp;</h4>Is the interaction between the PT provider and the participant suitable? Consider:&nbsp;<ul><li>Language used;&nbsp;</li><li>Accessibility and clarity of information;&nbsp;</li><li>Reports provided in a timely manner;&nbsp;</li><li>Regular communications, e.g. annual user meetings;&nbsp;</li><li>Level of support provided; and&nbsp;</li><li>Implementation of the customer’s wishes for PTs.&nbsp;</li></ul>Practical guidance for the selection of PT schemes is provided in Annex A of the Eurachem Guide [1].<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Eurachem_Selection_Use_and_Interpretation_of_Proficiency_Testing_PT_Schemes_by_Laboratories_2021_21f294fc1c.jpg" alt="Eurachem: Selection, Use and Interpretation of Proficiency Testing (PT) Schemes by Laboratories (2021)" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Eurachem_Selection_Use_and_Interpretation_of_Proficiency_Testing_PT_Schemes_by_Laboratories_2021_21f294fc1c.jpg 110w," sizes="100vw" width="790" height="1120"><blockquote>Information about PT providers and schemes can be obtained from your national accreditation body, from the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.eptis.org/">EPTIS website</a> or from other national or international organizations.</blockquote>

This is more reason for laboratories to tackle sustainability concerns now. This training supports labs to become greener by addressing the class of chemicals that are used in the largest volumes in the lab: solvents! According to the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry, solvents are more sustainable when they are biobased or when they are less dangerous and hazardous.This training highlights several of these greener solvent alternatives and how they can be implemented in the lab. Due to the large volume in which solvents are used, changing to a greener alternative will significantly reduce the carbon footprint of a lab. A further opportunity to reduce the carbon footprint of a lab and to tremendously reduce waste, are returnable containers for solvents, which will be covered in the second part of the training.By attending this webinar, you will learn:<ul><li>The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry</li><li>What greener solvents are and how they can be implemented in your lab</li><li>How returnable containers for solvents reduce the carbon footprint and amount of waste in the lab</li></ul>Who should attend: This webinar will provide valuable insights for everybody who is working with solvents in the lab and would like to become more sustainable.

Since its development in 1883, the Kjeldahl method of protein determination had been the standard in laboratories across the world. It wasn’t until the 1990s that the Dumas method began acquiring a foothold. Though the Dumas method was technically older than the Kjeldahl, only recent technological developments have made it easily accessible to labs, and “easily accessible” is certainly one way to describe the modern Dumas method of protein determination—especially how LECO does it!Join us for this 30 minute webinar where Michael Jakob, LECO European Product Manager, discusses how LECO’s protein analyzers streamline the Dumas method for protein determination. The webinar also features an online demonstration of running a sample on the FP828 in our Berlin lab.<blockquote>Presenter: Michael Jakob (LECO European Product Manager)</blockquote>
