Enhancing the laboratory quality assurance using the MYKIMIA Proficiency Testing Provider (PTP) food scheme data

Accuracy, reliability, defensibility, and timeliness are all aspects of laboratory quality. The outcomes must be error-free in order to produce high accuracy data. Valid methods and calibrated equipment are referred to as reliability. To dispute the laboratory results, all possible errors were ident...
