- The webinar will discuss best QC practices and procedures for verifying the suitability and performance characteristics of microbiological media and reagents.
Why Should You Attend:
Many laboratories are unsure about which QC practices are needed to assess media performance, to meet not only their requirements, but also the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025: 2005.
During this webinar, we will discuss a practical QC approach for in-house prepared and/or commercially purchased media and reagents specifically applicable to microbiology laboratories.
Learning objectives:
-Upon completion of this session, attendees will learn:
-To appreciate intrinsic and extrinsic factors which can affect the performance of culture media and reagents
-To identify Control Points (CP) and Critical Control Points (CCP) in media quality assessment
-To develop appropriate Quality Control Practices for CCPs to evaluate the acceptability of media and reagents for laboratory use
Areas Covered in the Webinar:
-Control Points
-Critical Control Points
-QC from purchase to disposal
-Sterility
-Productivity
-Selectivity
Who Will Benefit:
This webinar will provide valuable assistance to:
-Microbiological bench analysts
-QA managers
-Laboratory managers/supervisors and
-QC practitioners
