“The certified reference strains are essential to ensure traceability and credibility in microbiological quality control, in addition to being a requirement in standards, audits, accreditations and inspections. Sharing knowledge about the production and conservation of these strains will give users even more confidence when they are applying this important instrument in microbiological routines”, explains the Manager.

Focusing on the area of Clinical Microbiology and Hospital Infection, the course will start at 2:00pm and will be coordinated by Elizabeth de Andrade Marques (University of the State of Rio de Janeiro).

In addition to the Controllab representative, the participants will include discussions by Carmen Paz Oplustil (Formato Clínico – Projetos em Medicina Diagnóstica) and Cássia Maria Zoccoli (Laboratório Médico Santa Luzia). They will address, respectively, on method verification and validation and how external quality control contributes to laboratory improvement.
