Auditing Microbiology Testing Laboratories
(Webinar length:  1h 28m)

Overview:

Microbiological analysis is a major activity for the food industry - and a very important part of
product development and quality assurance. Microbiological analysis is required for a wide
variety of reasons - from testing suitability for purpose, through checking shelf-life or
authenticity, to assuring compliance. It is important to ensure that the laboratory uses good
microbiology laboratory practices in order to get meaningful answers to questions.

Establishing a good in-house microbiology laboratory or selection of the right contract
laboratory partner can be a great asset to the organization, or it can open the company to
recalls and seizures. Recent news has provided examples of poorly performing contract
laboratories that have resulted in significant penalties for the companies that trusted them with
testing of products. Quality personnel assigned the task of auditing microbiology testing
laboratories may not have the expertise to provide a perspective on this task.  Beyond quality
systems there are other aspects of microbiology laboratories that require a closer look
through a well trained eye. Though this webinar will not make untrained microbiologists
experts in the field, it will provide relevant guidance and training to evaluate microbiology
testing laboratories from a risk based perspective.

Areas covered in the webinar:

Discussion on FDA’s Guidance on auditing the microbiology laboratory
Laboratory facility design and segregation of laboratory operations
Sample handling, storage and tracking
Media preparation and media handling
