IOCCP-JAMSTEC 2018 Nutrients Intercomparison report published

IOCCP-JAMSTEC 2018 Nutrients Intercomparison report published

We are excited to announce the publication of the report of the IOCCP-JAMSTEC 2018 Inter-laboratory Comparison Exercise of a Certified Reference Material (CRM) for Nutrients in Seawater. We would like to congratulate Prof. Michio Aoyama and the team for leading the activity, and the 69 laboratories that participated in this 6th intercomparison exercise. It is heartening to see that most of these laboratories are able to analyse nutrients concentration within the certified uncertainty of the unknowns provided. The recommendations included in this report provide guidance for increasing the ability of the global community to answer questions about the changing marine macronutrient environment.

2015 Inter-comparison study of Certified Reference Material for Nutrients in Seawater

The report from this activity is available for download HERE, and can also be viewed online below.

The oceanographic community has continued to improve comparability of nutrient data from the world's oceans in many ways, including through 3 international inter-laboratory comparison studies since 2003 and the development of nutrient reference materials (RMs). However, adequate comparability and traceability of nutrient data have not yet been achieved.
