4100V: Method Validation - Chemistry - VIRTUAL - February 3-5, 2026
Important notice: CALA is moving to a new Learning Management System (LMS) at the end of the year. All 2026 course registrations purchased before the end of the year will be entered in our new LMS when we go live. When you complete your purchase, you will get the usual invoice. You will not get a second email with the link to the LMS. Don’t worry – we will hold your spot in the course and will send you the course details well ahead of your course.

Method validation is used to demonstrate that an analytical method is fit-for-purpose – a vital requirement under ISO/IEC 17025. By validating a method, the laboratory can demonstrate that the data generated by the method in your hands meets specific data quality objectives. Objective evidence of method validation is often requested by assessors and forms a baseline reference for method performance.
This course provides a thorough understanding of method validation for chemical methods, including practical examples of how the performance characteristics can be established. A mock method validation for a simple chemical method is conducted as part of the course exercise.
This is a 1.5 day course that is split over 3 half-days.
