​Webinar Summary

The ASBC Laboratory Profic​iency Program (LPP) is an important quality tool for laboratories testing brewing raw materials and the final brewed products. Participation in an LPP is one of the few w​ays in which a laboratory can compare its performance with that of other laboratories. Formerly known as the Check Sample Service, the ASBC recently revised and re-launched its LPP with a new online interface and statistical reports. The webinar will serve as an introduction to the available programs for both new and continuing subscribers as well as benefits for your laboratory and use the reports to improve your laboratory performance.


Webin​ar Takeaways:

  • ​Become familiar with the revised LLP sample types and frequency
  • Discover the benefits and value of proficiency testing in laboratory quality control programs
  • Learn how to interpret the statistical reports to monitor your laboratory performance

Who Should Attend:

  • Individuals responsible for quality testing of beer and brewing raw materials and oversight of analytical laboratories
  • Laboratory Mangers, Quality Managers, Laboratory Technicians
