Hi
Could anyone advise how to work out a representative number of samples to take for micro sample. What criteria is used to establish this.
Production runs at around 8T a week - so how many samples would we need to take to give a decent overview?
Thanks
Hi charlotte,
It depends on what micro. species you wish to evaluate and the type of objective of yr evaluation.

PS - should add that if the context is for a "small", in-house micro. lab probably most of the textbook recommended sampling schemes are logistically impossible on a routine basis. IMEX, the end result is something like a weekly batch of analyses performed on a rotating basis with some prioritisation for more sensitive items, eg RTE products, new raw materials, etc.
