Quality Control for Analytical Materials used in Microbiology Laboratories
Many laboratories are unsure about which QC practices are needed and what criteria to use to assess the acceptability of the performance of analytical materials, to meet not only their requirements but also to meet the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. During this webinar, we will discuss a practical QC approach for in-house prepared and/or commercially purchased media, test kits, and reagents specifically applicable to microbiology laboratories.Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of this session, attendees will learn:To understand intrinsic and extrinsic factors which can affect the performance of culture media, test kits, reagents, and other analytical materialsTo identify Control Points (CP) and Critical Control Points (CCP) in media quality assessmentTo develop appropriate QC Practices and acceptability criteria to evaluate the performance of analytical materials for laboratory useAreas CoveredControl PointsCritical Control PointsQC from purchase to disposalPerformance CriteriaSterilityProductivitySelectivityWho Should AttendMicrobiological bench analystsQA managersLaboratory managers/supervisorsQC practitioners
