RMWQAA Lab Equipment QA/QC Training

The focus of this training session is Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) in the context of laboratory equipment. We will discuss the required tasks to ensure quality data from the standard equipment used on a daily basis in a lab. This training will cover calibration basics, specific QA/QC requirements, and frequency that calibrations and checks should be completed. Equipment covered include pH and dissolved oxygen probes, balances, pipettes, incubators, ovens, refrigerators, thermometers, and basic glassware. These often-overlooked items are critical to data quality and deserve the same emphasis on QA/QC given to specialty equipment. Bring your own pipette and we'll help you calibrate it in the pipette rodeo! Lunch will be provided.
