Qualification of Microbial Identification Technology – USP <1113>
Webinar to be presented Thursday, June 14 at 2 pm EST
Abstract
There are a variety of different microbial identification technologies available for the QC Microbiology laboratory. Use of these in a CGMP environment requires qualification, but there is little guidance on this activity. This webinar will review the available technologies, and the proposed guidance in USP <1113> “Microbial Characterization, Identification and Strain Typing” and provide concrete recommendations for design of the qualification process.
