  3. Maximum contaminant level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_Contaminant_Level

    To set a maximum contaminant level for a contaminant, EPA first determines how much of the contaminant may be present with no adverse health effects. This level is called the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG). MCLGs are non-enforceable public health goals. The legally enforced MCL is then set as close as possible to the MCLG.

    A flame test is relatively quick test for the presence of some elements in a sample. The technique is archaic and of questionable reliability, but once was a component of qualitative inorganic analysis .

  5. Biosafety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosafety

    Biosafety is the prevention of large-scale loss of biological integrity, focusing both on ecology and human health. [1] These prevention mechanisms include the conduction of regular reviews of biosafety in laboratory settings, as well as strict guidelines to follow. Biosafety is used to protect from harmful incidents.

    The international pictogram for oxidizing chemicals. Dangerous goods label for oxidizing agents. An oxidizing agent (also known as an oxidant, oxidizer, electron recipient, or electron acceptor) is a substance in a redox chemical reaction that gains or "accepts"/"receives" an electron from a reducing agent (called the reductant, reducer, or electron donor).

A laboratory (UK: / l ə ˈ b ɒr ə t ər i /; US: / ˈ l æ b r ə t ɔːr i /; colloquially lab) is a facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific or technological research, experiments, and measurement may be performed.

  8. Highly accelerated life test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly_accelerated_life_test

    The goal of HALT is to proactively find weaknesses and fix them, thereby increasing product reliability. Because of its accelerated nature, HALT is typically faster and less expensive than traditional testing techniques. HALT is a test technique called test-to-fail, where a product is tested until failure. HALT does not help to determine or ...

  9. Round-robin test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_test

    There are different reasons for performing a round-robin test: determination the reproducibility of a test method or process; verification of a new method of analysis. If a new method of analysis has been developed, a round-robin test involving proven methods would verify whether the new method produces results that agree with the established method.
