Laboratory Documentation Sample Clauses

Laboratory Documentation. Laboratory documentation may vary slightly between analytical laboratories. This section is intended to describe the general procedures of the analytical laboratories. Details for each analytical laboratory is provided in the laboratory QAM, included in Appendix A. It is anticipated each analytical laboratory will maintain the following records as part of the permanent record: ■ Chain-of-Custody records; ■ Sample receipt forms/tracking forms; ■ Workbooks; ■ Bench sheets; ■ Instrument logbooks; ■ Instrument printouts; ■ Analyst notes regarding the sample, analysis date, analytical procedures performed, instrument used, instrument calibration, and results on laboratory forms or notebooks that will be entered into the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS); ■ Raw data records to allow reconstruction of initial instrument calibrations (i.e., calibration date, test method, instrument, analysis date, each analyte name, concentrations and responses, calibration curves, response factors, or unique equations or coefficients used to reduce instrument responses into calibrations); and ■ Corrective action reports, if required. Analytical laboratory data will be entered in ink and no erasures will be allowed. If an incorrect entry is made, the information will be crossed out with a single line and initialed. If pages are left intentionally blank, a diagonal line will be drawn across the page. Laboratory records will be reviewed periodically by the laboratory QA Director for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with the objectives of the QAPP and SAP. The laboratory QA Director will verify all entries and calculations and sign off on all data packages.
