This webinar will cover the basic concepts of sampling, from sample collection to laboratory analysis. It will review the limitations of microbiological sampling programs, so that the results can be properly interpreted. This course will help the attendees in designing a sampling plan and implementing it to their company quality assurance program. It will cover the following topics related to food sampling:
• Basic Statistics
• Two- and Three class Microbiological sampling plans
• Operating Characteristics of sampling
• Interpretation of results
Who will Benefit:
The session will aid not only those directly involved in microbiological sampling, but also those who are required to make informed decisions based on the results of the sampling program. It will provide valuable guidance to the following personnel:
