Pathogen Method Validation: When Is It Necessary? When Is a Matrix Extension Needed?

This webinar addresses issues inherent in the validation status of pathogen detection methods. Methods are typically validated for 15 to 20 food matrices, yet the range of food types encountered in practice is nearly infinite.

  • When must a method be validated or extended for a food not included in its original validation study?
  • If a method is validated for food A, is it also validated for food B?
  • When is full validation required, and when is a simple verification sufficient?
