Laboratory Workshop in HKSQ certification course “QM for Lab”

“Quality Management for Laboratory (QM for Lab)” organized by Hong Kong Society for Quality (HKSQ) and Dept. of Biology and Chemistry, The City University of Hong Kong (BCH, CityU HK). Two Laboratory Workshops were included for student to practice the calibration of equipment, glassware, etc.

The first workshop aims to practice the fundamental calibration in chemistry related laboratory equipment and its uncertainty.

Related to Mass – Calibration of Analytical Balance





Related to Temperature – Calibration of Thermometer (Room temp and zero point)

Related to Volume – Calibration of V-flash and pipette

The second workshop aims to create the calibration curve using Inductively Coupled Plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and calculated the uncertainty of the calibration curve.

Related to Concentration – Preparing calibration curve through dilution of stock solution.

ICP analysis performed

After these two workshops, students could learn the foundation of calibration and uncertainty of measurement.
