Horwitz on Validation PDF

Validation—It's what we do! Validation is the process of verifying or demonstrating correctness. In this invaluable document, Bill Horwitz outlines what validation covers and how to go about it.

Single Laboratory Validation (SLV) course materials

These PDF documents give an example of an actual SLV study report and generic protocols for conducting an SLV.

Full collaborative study materials

Here are the generic protocol and an example of a full collaborative study report (web page), plus guidelines for selecting a laboratory with the technical competence suitable for participation in an AOAC collaborative study.

*This page and linked files "borrowed" from the AOAC Dietary Supplement Analytical Community web site. The resources here are generic and very useful for our toxin group purposes too.
