Book (stand-alone)First Inter-laboratory comparison report of the Regional Soil Laboratory Network For Asia (SEALNET) 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) was formally established under the framework of the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) in November 2017, when its first meeting took place at FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy. GLOSOLAN’s objectives are: (1) to strengthen the performance of laboratories through use of standardized methods and protocols, and (2) to harmonize soil analysis methods so that soil information is comparable and interpretable across laboratories, countries and regions. In this context, GLOSOLAN plans to develop open access Standard Operating Procedures and manuals on good laboratory practices, execute regional and global proficiency testing, and increase the overall performance of laboratories through the organization of training sessions. By April 2019, over 220 laboratories from all continents were registered in GLOSOLAN. The South-East Asian Laboratory Network (SEALNET) which corresponds to the Regional Soil Laboratory Networks for the South-East Asian region decided to conduct an independent assessment of the technical performance of SEALNET laboratories through an inter-laboratory comparison. This report presents the results of the analysis using different figures to help laboratory managers and other non-specialist readers to perceive the different aspects of (i) the laboratory performance evaluation, (ii) the way to identify the technical problems in case of poor performances and (iii) suggesting which solutions can be proposed to improve the analytical performances -
BookletGlobal Soil Laboratory Assessment 2020
Laboratories’ capacities and needs
2021Also available in:
No results found.This document is based on the answers provided by soil laboratories to the survey “global assessment on laboratory capacities and needs” (see Annex II), which was conducted by the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) under the framework of the Global Soil Partnership of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Online surveys are known to be the best and fastest way to collect information for large-scale monitoring and evaluation. In 2018, a first global survey was launched by GLOSOLAN to collect information to consolidate the objectives of the network and define its work plan in terms of standard operating procedures for harmonization. The survey discussed in this report aimed at collecting information on laboratories’ training and equipment needs and at assessing the capacity of laboratories to satisfy national demands in soil analysis. In this regard, questions were not laboratory specific but country oriented. These data will serve to improve the GLOSOLAN work plan in terms of activities, budget allocation and provision of country-specific political support. It can also help to mobilize financial resources and to develop better nationally and regionally oriented work plans on soil laboratories. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetGood practices on recording training videos for the Global Soil Laboratory Network 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Established in 2017, in the framework of the Global Soil Partnership’s Pillar 5, the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) facilitates networking and capacity development through cooperation and information sharing between soil laboratories with different levels of expertise. GLOSOLAN main objectives are: • Make soil information across labs, countries and regions comparable, interpretable; • Build a set of agreed harmonization principles; • Improve quality assurance and control (QA/QC) of soil analyses; • Promote information and experience exchange. This short manual was prepared to support the production of training videos that will be recorded at GLOSOLAN member laboratories.
