Purpose
Test Methods are used in Alchemy to define any associated conditions, which are then used to perform defined trials in a Lab Book. There are two types of test methods available: Flexible and Strict.
Flexible test methods are used to measure the same properties under different conditions from process to process. Strict test methods are used to meet a standard where the test methods are tested under the same conditions each time, regardless of the process being tested.
This guide outlines how to create a new Test Method record. For more information regarding Test Method records, see our ELN + LIMS User Manual.
Note: Only users with the appropriate privileges can create a Test Method record. Contact your system administrator for more information.
