Reliable Measurements: Strategic Analysis of an Analysis

Bertil Magnusson is the facilitator for this two-day workshop: Reliable Measurements in Chemical Laboratories: The Strategic Analysis of a Chemical Analysis
This is about a two-day training course followed by half-day site visits to the participating laboratories. 
The program is approved as a Seminar of High Importance, thus fully subsidized by the Human Resource Development Authority. 
The organizer is the Vocational |Training Centre Quintessence Enterprises Ltd 
Seminar Dates: 10&11 September 2018

The persons that are interested to participate to the seminar are kindly requested give a feedback on any special requests that are interested to discuss in the course. This will help the facilitator prepare his agenda made to the special needs and requests of the group.

About the lecturer

Dr Bertil Magnusson Bertil started as a marine chemist looking for traces of metals in the Oceans in the 70’s. After his PhD, he joined AKZO-NOBEL, and worked there as a specialist in analytical chemistry mainly with spectroscopy (XRF, XRD, ICP) and wet chemistry.In 2002 Bertil joined SP, now RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden). He is working with analysis and quality in measurements including accreditation, quality control, validation, measurement uncertainty and decision making. A major part is teaching and taking part in writing guidelines from e.g. Nordtest and Eurachem. In 2016 he started a small company to support the quality in measurement for laboratories.
