Applied Statistics for Laboratories

In-Person / Streaming

Acquire the basic theoretical and practical knowledge of general statistical concepts used in physicochemical laboratories, applying some of the available Excel tools.

Calibration of equipment and estimation of uncertainty

Scheduled Courses

e-Learning, In-Person / Streaming

In this course, concepts of calibration and the estimation of its uncertainty are clarified, both for direct measurement equipment and for instrumental calibration. This will help you to better understand the equipment available in the laboratory and to have greater control over it, minimizing risks and complying with the Quality System according to UNE-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017. To support this, practical examples will also be provided.

Enumeration of Somatic Coliphages in Water

Scheduled Courses

In-Person / Streaming

In the course, we will cover the implementation of the somatic coliphage enumeration method in water using standardized methods (ISO 10705-2:2001 / ISO 10705-3:2003), both with and without sample concentration, to allow for low counts in accordance with legislation.

ESG Leadership and Corporate Sustainability: Implementation Guide for Your Organization (UNE-ISO IWA 48)

Scheduled Courses

In-Person / Streaming

The main objective of the course is to provide a clear, practical, and useful vision of how to apply ESG principles in organizations, including testing laboratories, based on the IWA 48 guideline. Throughout the course, participants will learn to identify relevant risks, work with stakeholders, integrate sustainability into organizational processes, and define indicators that allow the measurement of real progress.

Evaluation in Participation in Proficiency Testing Exercises

Scheduled Courses

e-Learning, In-Person / Streaming

In this course, we guide you on how to make the most of your participation in interlaboratory comparison exercises, while also analyzing in detail the required reference documentation, including its specific requirements (NT-03 and G-ENAC-14). We cover both the evaluation of the results obtained and the assessment of the providers involved in these exercises.

G-ENAC-25. Risk Analysis for Participation in Proficiency Testing for Internal Calibrations

Scheduled Courses

e-Learning, In-Person / Streaming

Starting from September 2024, all accredited laboratories performing internal calibrations will be required to carry out a risk analysis to determine whether participation in interlaboratory comparisons is necessary. This analysis will take into account the specific context of each laboratory, the activities it performs, and other methods that ensure the validity of the results. In this course, we will guide you step by step to master how to effectively conduct this risk analysis. We will provide you with all the key concepts to thoroughly understand how to evaluate risks, following the guidelines of G-ENAC 25, and help you apply best practices so that your laboratory complies with NT03 and can confidently face your analysis. An Excel risk analysis sheet is included. It is only compatible with Microsoft Office.

Information Security for Laboratories – UNE–EN ISO/IEC 27001:2017

Scheduled Courses

In-Person / Streaming

This course aims to combine the requirements of ISO 17025 for laboratories with the application requirements of ISO 27001, given the growing importance of confidentiality, maintenance, and integrity of records, as well as the risks associated with their loss. It is a compilation of best practices for implementing security management measures, specifically focused on laboratories, which protect information and assure clients that their data is secure.

Instrumental Technique: Chromatography

Scheduled Courses

e-Learning, In-Person / Streaming

We will introduce you to the minimum parameters to consider for the proper definition of a chromatographic method and for establishing its controls. The concept of Instrumental Calibration will be reviewed in its different approaches (curve fitting with multiple points, use of the response factor, with and without internal standard, with and without matrix) along with the criteria for its evaluation. We will explain the validation parameters (linearity, trueness, and precision) and the estimation of the uncertainty of the results.

Instrumental Technique: ICP-MS

Scheduled Courses

e-Learning, In-Person / Streaming

We will introduce you to the minimum parameters to consider for the proper definition of an ICP-MS method and its control. The concept of Instrumental Calibration will be reviewed in its different approaches (curve fitting with multiple points, use of the response factor, with and without internal standard, with and without matrix) and the criteria for its evaluation. We will clarify and work on the validation parameters (linearity, trueness, and precision) as well as the estimation of the uncertainty of the results.

Internal Audits (Theoretical-Practical)

Scheduled Courses

In-Person / Streaming

Not only are concepts and requirements related to the need for laboratories to carry out scheduled internal audits reviewed, but a practical component is also included, divided into the different phases of conducting an audit. The course focuses on the need for training and qualification of potential internal auditors. To ensure the effectiveness of audits, some clarifications from the UNE–EN ISO 19011:2018 “Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems” standard are also provided.

Laboratory Waste Management

Scheduled Courses

e-Learning

It is important to clarify good practices within a laboratory, regardless of the type of laboratory or the tests performed. It is also essential to understand the categories of non-hazardous waste that may be generated, as well as the different categories of hazardous waste and their incompatibilities. Knowing how to respond to accidents or incidents related to waste management is crucial. In addition, it is necessary to explain the proper procedures for transferring and handling generated waste. Understanding waste classifications according to applicable regulations, as well as their identification and labeling, is fundamental. All of these aspects aim to provide an appropriate management system for laboratories based on their waste generation, ensure the proper functioning of a laboratory—even in the management of hazardous or non-hazardous waste—and guarantee that waste management is carried out correctly and in compliance with current legislation.
