Resumen:
This first international proficiency-testing scheme evaluated the analytical performance and the state of practice in measurement of volatile fatty acids in aqueous samples. Gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography were used by 25 laboratories from 15 different countries. Two reference materials were selected for analysis. The performance of each laboratory was assessed by the internationally-accepted z-score. The overall performance was rather poor. Among the causes of poor analytical performance, human errors and inadequate calibration were probably the major problems encountered. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
