Data Quality
To maintain
high data quality, instrument performance is
routinely monitored using one or more secondary
standards.
We also regularly participate in interlaboratory exercises. This includes G-probe (most recently G-probe 8 in November 2011) and the recent INTAV intercomparison of tephrochronology laboratories (Kuehn et al., 2011 - see lab 28). These provide a source of external quality control. Sample WDS analyses:  G-probe
