who are involved in implementation and validation of microbiological test methods.

Abstract

For the validation of microbiological test methods several experiments must be performed to demonstrate that the new method is capable of detecting and counting organisms in test samples and at least as good as the compendial method. To quantify the performance, statistical methods form an indispensable tool. This workshop will provide information on the types of experiments and the statistical analyses that may be performed to estimate the validation parameters of the new alternative or rapid methods. The methods will be illustrated on real cases using software.
