OVERVIEW

The webinar will discuss QC best practices and procedures for verifying the suitability and performance characteristics of microbiological media and reagents.

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 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.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

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.

Attend the webinar to understand a practical QC approach for in-house prepared and/or commercially purchased media, test kits and reagents specifically applicable to microbiology laboratories.
