Workshop description

Method validation is an important component in establishing and ensuring the quality of results obtained from a test method. It cannot be guaranteed that data will be fit for purpose unless the performance of the test method has been studied and demonstrated to be adequate. Method validation therefore provides evidence that a test method is capable of providing data that are suitable for a particular clinical application.
