Why participate with TestQual?

·TestQual has been organizing in situ PTs for water since 2015.

In a proficiency test in which the analytes must be detected and quantify from a possible target list of analytes, laboratories have a perfect chance to show to their clients the capacity to make a scan of any sample and be able to detect and correctly quantify the present analites while avoiding false positives.

TestQual's proficiency testing schemes are a useful tool for testing laboratories to demonstrate their competence and quality assurance of their analysis, a continous participation allows our clients to compare their results with other laboratories from the sector, follow up their performance and detect bias or errors that can be correctly approached with preventive or corrective actions.
