White Paper Tells How to Manage Lab Analysis with SPC
Portland, Oregon, December 4, 2006 – Northwest Analytical (NWA) has released “Monitoring Laboratory Methods to Ensure Data Reliability”. The white paper details how to properly employ SPC control charts and process capability analysis to monitor analytical performance and apply continuous process improvement methods to laboratory process management. The discussion includes how to identify the types and sources of errors in laboratory methods and improve capability to meet expected levels of performance.
NWA is the standard for laboratory SPC charting. Major commercial LIMS either directly incorporate NWA ActiveX SPC components (NWA QAx) or link with standard NWA software (NWA Quality Analyst and NWA Quality Analyst Webserver) to provide their SPC charting, analytics and reporting.
