Proficiency testing (PT) provides a company or laboratory with an independent verification of accuracy in analysis, and is an important part of a Quality Assurance system. Regular participation in a PT scheme demonstrates a commitment to the maintenance and improvement of performance, and provides valuable proof of the competence of the laboratory for its customers.

Sciantec now organises and provides a number of Proficiency Testing schemes specifically in the ‘Combinable Crops & Pulses’ sector on behalf of third parties customers. These schemes are operated to strict quality guidelines on an international and UK basis. The schemes facilitate a cost-effective and timely service to laboratories, as well as being able to provide effective feedback regarding the needs and wants of laboratories in different parts of the world.

Sciantec is able to provide consultancy and training on any aspect of proficiency testing scheme operation, and can also operate PT schemes for companies or organisations under contract.
