interlaboratory comparisons

How Do Interlaboratory Comparisons Work?

The process typically involves several laboratories performing the same test or analysis on identical samples. The results are then compared against a set of criteria or a reference value. These comparisons can be facilitated through proficiency testing schemes, where participating labs are assessed based on their ability to perform specific tests accurately. Any significant deviations from expected results can prompt investigations into potential sources of error, such as instrument calibration, methodological differences, or human error.
