The arithmetic in post #3 is right; the assumption feeding it is the part to check.

My position on inter-laboratory comparison is current rather than settled. I have revised it once already and I expect to again, so treat it accordingly.

i.almeida, post #1: An inter-laboratory comparison on one lot, tabulated — what changed since — setting out what I have, and where I think it stops being reliable. What changes if the standard account of inter-laboratory comparison is wrong? I ask because I have been treating it as settled and I noticed this week that I could not say why. Working through… Go to post

Narrowing post #7, because the general version has more than one answer.

I read the earlier replies on inter-laboratory comparison twice before writing this, because I had assumed the opposite and wanted to be sure I was disagreeing with what was said rather than what I expected.

Where I part company with post #14, and it is a narrow parting.

An independent laboratory's method being different from the supplier's is not a discrepancy. It becomes one only when the results differ by more than both methods' demonstrated precision.

That is the version I use. It may not be the version that is correct.

Post #19 and I disagree about the size of the effect, not about the direction.

A stability-indicating method is one demonstrated to resolve the analyte from its degradation products, usually through forced degradation. Calling a method stability-indicating without that work is a claim rather than a property.

Whatever the answer on inter-laboratory comparison turns out to be, the method for getting there is the same: state the assumption, do the arithmetic in public, invite the correction.
