As part of the Webinar Series on QA/QC in Chemical Analysis for Monitoring Purposes and In Vitro Toxicity Assays for Hazard Assessment, PARC will host a webinar on Method Performance Criteria in quantitative chemical analysis in environment, HBM and food which will take place online, via Microsoft Teams on 17 April 2026, from 12:00 to 13:00 CET. The session will be led by Petr Kukučka and Jan Kuta, researchers at RECETOX ↗, Masaryk University, Czech Republic.

What to expect:
This webinar will introduce the minimum performance criteria recommended for analytical methods used in chemical monitoring. Participants will gain a practical overview of how method validation and performance parameters help ensure that analytical data are reliable, comparable across laboratories, and fit for exposure and risk assessment purposes. Targeted analytical approaches will be included. Topics will include:
• Minimum requirements for method validation;
• Key method performance parameters (trueness, precision, calibration);
• Definition, determination and interpretation of LOD and LOQ;
• Identification criteria;
• Practical considerations for fit-for-purpose analytical data, examples.

Who should attend:
This session is open to researchers, laboratory analysts, quality managers, and data users working in chemical analysis both within and outside PARC. Participants should have a basic understanding of analytical chemistry and QA/QC concepts, as well as general familiarity with trace-level chemical measurements.

Practical details:
Participation in this webinar is free of charge. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Registered participants will receive the connection link after registration.

Application deadline:
The registration form will remain open until the maximum capacity of 150 participants is reached or until 15 April 2026, whichever comes first.
