1.2 Contact Hours Towards CWEA Certifications: LAB 

Regulatory entities, along with competitive markets, are driving the demand for lower and lower detection levels of samples. When it comes to achieving low detection capabilities for metals testing, laboratories recognize not only the importance but also the difficulties associated with keeping a clean lab and clean testing supplies. In this webinar, our speaker Becky Faenza, will discuss common sources of background contamination in the laboratory and ways to navigate through a clean lab workflow to achieve low detection capabilities in low-level metals analysis.
