“…Exploiting the results of proficiency tests also allows the achievement of other objectives such as comparing different analytical methods, evaluating a new method compared to an existing standardized method, supporting accreditation bodies or public authorities, and demonstrating the analytical skills of laboratories to customers (Boley, 1998). For all these reasons, this type of test is tending to multiply, thereby requiring the preparation of an increasing number of samples.…”

This article describes a device intended to produce replicas on filters by liquid deposition of anion or metal solutions. Schematically, the filters are housed in cassettes labelled automatically by means of a code. An automatic arm takes each cassette, reads the code, and deposits the amount of element required. Weighing before and after deposition allows the amount deposited to be accurately checked and determined. This automated system allows the production of replicas with high deposition regularity, replica dispersion for the most part being <1%. The samples produced can be used during proficiency tests where the assigned value is determined either by the participants or by the organizer.
