The process of conducting IPT typically involves several steps:
Sample Preparation: Known samples with specific concentrations of toxic substances are prepared. Distribution: These samples are distributed to different analysts or sections within the laboratory. Analysis: Each analyst or section analyzes the sample using their standard procedures. Result Comparison: The results are then compared against the known values and any discrepancies are noted. Feedback and Improvement: Feedback is provided to the analysts, and any necessary improvements in procedures or training are implemented.
