3-Hour Boot Camp on Analytical Method Validation for the Detection of Microbial Pathogens in Foods and Feeds

Overview

All methodologies described in this presentation are also used by FDA labs. FDA applies them to education, inspections, data collections, standard setting, investigation of outbreaks and enforcement actions.

Why should you Attend

This presentation uses the latest FDA thinking and guidance documents to assist you in re-establishing those requirements that need to be fulfilled in the evaluation for microbial methods used in your testing laboratories.

It also re-establishes performance evaluation (verification & validation) criteria, necessary for the use of commercially-available diagnostic test kits and platforms.

The presentation further describes evaluation criteria for methods to detect, identify and quantify all microbial analytes that may now be, or have the potential to be associated with foods and feeds, i.e. any microbiological organism of interest (target organism) or the genetic material i.e. DNA, RNA, toxins, antigens or any other product of these organisms.
