8 Analytical Chemistry and Quality
(26) What is a Quality Manual? What is its purpose?
(27) What are SOPs? In what context are they used?
(28) What is a primary method? How does it influence analytical quality?
(29) What is the difference between an official method and a standard method?
(30) Connect quality compromises to relationships among analytical properties.
(31) Relate the vertices of the following triangle:
Analylical Qualily
Analytical Properlies
Analytical Problem
(32) Place quality of standards in the context of analytical quality.
(33) What are Quality Control activities?
(34) What is the difference between collaborative and cooperative interlaboratory exercises? How do they relate to their four objectives?
(35) What are EN-45 000 and ISO 9000 standards?
(36) What are the essential differences between Quality Control and Quality
Assessment?
(37) What are control charts? Where do they fall in the Quality Assurance context? What is their use?
(38) Relate traceability to the different facets of analytical quality.
(39) Are GLPs compulsory? Is accreditation?
(40) Why are the external and internal facets of Quality Assessment activities a
source of confusion?
(41) What is the purpose of interlaboratory exercises? Where do they fall in the
context of analytical quality?
(42) What is the meaning of "third-party approval"?
(43) What are "Good Laboratory Practices"? What are their most salient features
as quality systems?
(44) Why can the quality of a laboratory be expected to rise through participation in an intercomparison exercise?
(45) Why are documenting and archiving activities a bottleneck in instituting
quality schemes in a laboratory?
(46) What parameter is used to characterize the quality of the results of a
laboratory in a proficiency test?
(47) What is external-external assessment? Give some examples and distinguish
them from others of external-internal assessment.
(48) Where does the Quality Assurance Unit (QAU) fall in the context of Quality
Assessment? Why?
(49) Of all the problems potentially encountered in instituting quality, which are
the most relevant? Why?
(50) Give a specific example illustrating the different types of advantages gained
by a laboratory and its personnel in working under the umbrella of quality.
