Determining the \u201ctrue value\u201d of a water quality measurement is an important fundamental of any QA\/QC program. To determine the true value, many professionals apply a second means of measuring the parameter of interest, such as another instrument that is kept serviced and calibrated just for quality control purposes or a grab sample that is evaluated using a trusted laboratory technique. Instruments such as HYDROLAB\u2018s produce high quality data for many applications and by leveraging the HYDROLAB Operating System you can maximize uptime with streamlined calibration tasks<\/p>\n<p>Good QA\/QC programs require robust calibration procedures that ultimately provide valuable information about, and confidence in, the instrument\u2019s performance.
