What this note covers

  • The three components of PhotonAssay™ QA/QC: automated instrument checks, reference sample validation, and Chrysos QC team review

  • How PhotonAssay™ QA/QC differs from fire assay — including why fire assay control limits and certified mean grades are not appropriate for PhotonAssay™ monitoring

  • Selection, quantity and ongoing care of monitoring standards and blanks for routine PhotonAssay™ operation

  • Automated QA/QC checks that trigger data holds, including 2 SD and 3 SD thresholds for monitoring standard grades

  • Daily, weekly and monthly QA/QC reporting structure, including automated control charts and grade ratio plots
