Analytical Quality Control

Analytical Quality Control (AQC) is a process used to ensure that laboratory tests and measurements are accurate, consistent, and reliable. It involves checking and verifying test results using standardized procedures, controls, and samples to detect errors or deviations. By systematically monitoring each step, AQC helps maintain high standards, ensures the data's integrity, and confirms that products or substances meet specified quality criteria. Ultimately, it assures stakeholders—like manufacturers, regulators, and consumers—that results are trustworthy and safe.
