In an increasingly regulated analytical landscape, laboratories often face a paradox: the need to demonstrate competence in matrix/analyte combinations imposed by regulations, but the difficulty in finding specific Proficiency Testing on the market for these rare analyses
Test Veritas, with its Progetto Trieste 2026 program, responds to this challenge, reaffirming its role as a specialist in organizing niche PTs, often unobtainable elsewhere, designed to support laboratories seeking to evaluate their performance in critical analytical contexts.
Meeting the Needs of the Rarest Analytical Challenges
The Progetto Trieste 2026 catalogue is enriched with PTs aimed at satisfying the most specific regulatory demands in complex and delicate matrices and for particular contaminants. These PTs offer laboratories the opportunity to verify their methods with confidence on uncommon combinations in the pursuit of excellence.
