Dear Sir,Madam,

Subject Invitation r for the online oD Drosram to and FTLs

Department of Medical Sciences as ASEAN Food Reference Laboratory (AFRL) for

Heavy Metals and Trace Elements is pleased to extend our invitation to the National Food Reference
Laboratories G.fFRL, and Food Testing Laboratories (FTLs) of ASEAN Member States (AMS) to
participate in our upcoming online workshop program on the determination of amounts ofinorganic
arsenii in aquatic animals with HPLC-lCP-MS. The program is an online practical training session
aimed at strengthening the capacity of NFRLs and FTLs in AMS.

The online workshop wil[ be organized by Bureau of Quality and Safety of Food
(BQSF), Department of Medical Sciences, Ministry of Public Health, Thailand, and will be
conduoted via Zoom platform (anached information) on May 2nd, 2023. The training session will
