We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Laboratory Accreditation",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Steam sterilisation made easier, faster, and safer from
Don Whitley Scientific, which we summarised at the time by saying "With a sleek, modern look and rapid heating and cooling cycles, these innovative autoclaves meet the needs of today's laboratory for safe, precise and reproducible steam
sterilisation".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Lead paint standards are Nist-traceable from
Environmental Reference Materials: "These certified reference materials are useful to laboratories performing testing of environmental samples including paint, soil and dust for lead by atomic and emission spectroscopy".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Starna Scientific
concerning its Liquid plate reader CRMs
- take a look at Better qualification of plate readers
which says: "The new Starna liquid plate reader CRMs have a unique sealed cell design, which allows their use horizontally in the plate reader, or vertically in a reference spectrophotometer for certification".
Take a look also at the news release from Starna Scientific, Seeing double for certified reference materials,
as well as Validation for UV plate readers from Starna Scientific,
and ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation renewed and expanded from IET Labs.
