Validation of Rapid Microbiological Methods

Validation of qualitative microbiological test methods.

This paper considers a statistical model for the detection mechanism of qualitative microbiological test methods with a parameter for the detection proportion (the probability to detect a single organism) and a parameter for the false positive rate. It is demonstrated that the detection proportion and the bacterial density cannot be estimated separately, not even in a multiple dilution experime...

Manual of Microbiological Methods

one on endocrinology, should provide the student with an excellent overall view of the integration of organic systems. "Genetics and Evolution" contains a reasonably clear and detailed discussion of the principles and problems in these fields, including gene action, the origin of life, and a good summary of the evidence for evolution. Some may feel that this section should come before that on v...

Microbiological Safety Validation of Food Processes

The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was signed into law on January 4, 2011 by President Obama. It represents the largest expansion of food safety requirements and FDA food safety authorities since the enactment of the original Food Drug & Cosmetic Act in 1938. It adds Section 418 to the US FD&C Act, requiring facilities to perform a hazard analysis and implement a preventive controls plan....

Rapid Analysis of Microbiological Systems Using SERS

Research in the biological sciences field is now moving forward at an unprecedented rate. Modern technological advances, particularly computational processing power, but also modern analytical methods, have been embraced by the life sciences. In combination these have developed to such an extent that it is now possible to begin to investigate complex systems using powerful techniques that in th...
