The aim of the school is to inform participants about the current global and European metrology infrastructures supporting the clinical, biotechnology and food sectors. Students will learn about the fundamentals of the primary methods of analysis used to assure the metrological traceability of pure primary calibrators and matrix reference materials, as well as the development of reference measurement procedures.
Lectures at the School are leading European experts in the delivery of research projects development of concepts and the teaching of biochemical metrology.
The participants will learn the basic principles of providing measurement results with direct traceability to the SI, and how these are applied to enabling comparable measurement results for a range of current biological and biochemical measurement challenges,
They will gain insights into how the latest biochemical metrology research is impacting on current priority challenges (e.g. Neurodegenerative diseases, Cancer, metrology for the routine monitory of health status markers and food contaminants) and, in addition, develop a network of contacts with colleagues from leading biochemical metrology research projects.
The event will be a perfect opportunity for NMIs/DIs who wish to establish or increase their activities in the biochemistry/biology sector to quickly get up to speed with current approaches and establish links to current NMI/DI work programmes.
Final day for registration of EURAMET colleagues is 1 April 2026.
Registration for colleagues from other regional metrology organisations (subject to availability) will open afterwards.
More information and registration are available at the website of PTB.
This four-day training event is organised within the framework of EURAMET CaBuCo (Capacity Building Coordination).
