Such standardization will save time and costs, while reducing the risk of questionable or incorrect results in critical lab processes. Implementing universally recognized and applied test and evaluation methods in the SOPs across an entire organization will facilitate data comparisons, increase confidence in results, and reduce time to develop new ALHS performance test procedures for individual labs. However, these SOPs can vary dramatically from lab to lab, division to division, or site to site.
Reducing the risk of inconsistent outcomes due to inconsistent ALHS performance is a critical step towards an organizations global quality policy. Once a test method has been chosen, the test results should be evaluated based on the statistical methods described in ISOIWA 15.Įnsuring that each ALHS is adjusted to the same performance level when performing the same task on different systems will provide consistency, and confidence, in the results. The ability to test and compare the performance of ALHS across different platforms and between different labs is critical for confidence in, and inter-comparability of, scientific data generated using ALHS.įor example, a test method may be selected based on the volumes to be transferred, plate and liquid types to be used, or requirements for lab equipment and environmental conditions. This ensures that ALHS manufacturers, independent calibration and test services, and end-users are able to speak the same language, use the same test and evaluation methods, and compare test results. The focus of this IWA is the standardization of terminology, test methods and interpretation of test results. There is currently no other international standard or guidance document available for evaluating the performance of ALHS.
