How does one meet the most demanding part of an analysis-sampling? A typical example is soil, which presents a twofold problem for the analyst: first, the selection of the sites where the samples are taken, and second, the reduction of a sample (for example, 1 kg) to the analysis aliquot size (for example, 10 μL). This paper describes the details of sampling issues.

Here, we review the regulatory expectations of metrics for monitoring data integrity and discuss their practical implementation in a regulated chromatography laboratory.
