A los Laboratorios Miembro de la RILAA

Nos complace informar que el Laboratorio Nacional Agropecuario del Ministerio de Agricultura, Pecuaria y Abastecimiento (LANAGRO-MG/MAPA) del Brasil va a organizar un ensayo de aptitud para dioxinas y furanos de relevancia toxicológica en matriz de pescado, durante el primer semestre de 2014.

Las muestras, su transporte e informe de resultados serán gratuitos, en tanto que eventuales trámites, impuestos y costos aduaneros en el país de destino deberán ser cubiertos por el Laboratorio participante.

En la dirección: http://www.eSurveysPro.com/Survey.aspx?id=c18f5db6-2c66-41ef-ac9c-559a81ac384c usted puede encontrar información detallada sobre las características del ensayo de aptitud y completar el formulario de inscripción y consultas al organizador.

Debido a que hay pocos laboratorios miembros de la RILAA que realizan estas determinaciones analíticas, podrán ser admitidos en el ensayo de aptitud "laboratorios no miembros" de otros sectores (inclusive privados). Por ello le pedimos que nos ayude a difundir este ejercicio interlaboratorio (por ejemplo, informándonos la dirección de email o reenviando este correo a quien corresponda).

Muchas gracias.

Atentamente,

Jorge E. Torroba
Secretaría ex officio de la RILAA-OPS/OMS
