Prepare an application brief

When you only know the measurement task, an application brief saves a round of questions. It does not need to be long.

What to include

1. Sample matrix. What the sample is, and how it is prepared.
2. Target parameters. The components or properties you must report.
3. Concentration range. Typical and extreme values, plus the reporting limit.
4. Method. The reference standard, if one applies, and its version.
5. Throughput. Samples per day or per batch, and the acceptable turnaround.
6. Environment. Bench space, utilities, ventilation and operator skill level.
7. Records. What must be stored, exported or signed off.

What we will not assume

Suitability for your matrix, validated results and regulatory compliance are confirmed by your laboratory. We use the brief to propose a configuration and the documents that apply — not to replace your validation.
