From 26 April to 8 May 2015 the Sadat City Station (SDS) laboratory in Egypt was visited for a second mission. The objectives of this mission were formulated in the development plan from the first mission. It consisted out of 7 phases which ought to be rolled-out and completed during a project period of 12 months. This mission covered the first four phases.
In summary the objectives were:
- Start with setting up a quality control system.
- Improve the quality of the laboratory performance by fixing the known method deficiencies.
- Develop and optimise methods.
- Evaluate, test and install the purchased laboratory- and supporting equipment.
- Reach consensus on the laboratory lay-out and coordinate its implementation.
Most of these objectives could be reached during the visit. Obviously some activities, like setting up a quality control system, take more time and were only initiated at this stage. Visit our facebook page to get a better impression of the current status of this project.
