The conference also brought together analytical chemists from many Estonian laboratories, who received useful information from the various sessions of the conference. In addition, it was a good opportunity to share experiences and create connections for future meetings. In addition to renowned researchers, students also had the opportunity to present the results of their research at the conference.

Within the framework of the conference, a special session “Data quality in environmental analysis” was also held under the leadership of the University of Tartu (including AKKI). The invited speakers of the session were two metrology in chemistry “gurus” Dr. Steve Ellison from LGC and Dr. Bertil Magnusson from Trollboken who also hosted the following discussion session.

Dr Bertil Magnusson’s the presentation focused on how to estimate limits of quantitation and uncertainties using data collected daily in the laboratory. Dr. Magnusson also has long-term experience in EURACHEM and is the author of several guides, including Nordtest guides that are beneficial to routine laboratories.
