Скачать или смотреть Are You Sure About That ID? Ensuring Microbial Identification Meets USP Standards

This session is presented by Abby Roth, CMQ/OE, Pure Microbiology. The presentation addresses the critical need for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to ensure the lab accurately identifies microorganisms recovered during environmental monitoring and sterility testing, as required by USP 797. Many compounding facilities lack clarity and education on which identification methods are appropriate or how to verify a laboratory’s capabilities. By clarifying USP 1113 standards and comparing phenotypic, proteotypic, and genotypic techniques, this session equips participants to make informed decisions about selecting a lab partner. Ultimately, applying this knowledge supports better business practices through improved compliance and ensures safer compounded preparations for patients.
