General description: | HPLC under USP 621 proficiency testing material is produced in accordance with ISO/IEC 17043:2010. The PT portfolio allows our test components to offer significant performance data to monitor and prove competency to customers, accreditation bodies or both. This proficiency test can be used to comply with ISO 17025 requirements for proficiency testing, demonstration of capability, and analysts training for HPLC technologies by the methodology described by USP <621>. Supelco® Pharmaceutical Proficiency Testing scheme is mainly designed to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical industry. The pharma PT samples allow laboratories to demonstrate their competence in following compendial USP methods of analysis. They can be used to assure accreditors or auditors that the lab processes are followed accordingly. Our pharmaceutical PT scheme covers products under categories such as Chemical Tests and Assays, Physical Tests and Determinations and Microbiological Tests. Type of PT Scheme: Pharmaceuticals Analyte/s: Values of analytes vary lot to lot.
