Objectives

You will learn how to recognise microbiological cultures. You will further get to know classical procedures for the selection and identification and how to analyse the microbiological concept. In addition you will get an insight into the needed media and in modern rapid methods.

Due to the limited number of participants and the supervision by experienced lab staff you will be able to do the work, to employ the methods and to make the analyses yourself. For that purpose there will be lab places with microscopes in the S2 lab for every participant. Accompanying presentations and a comprehensive documentation will provide the necessary knowledge base.

Background

Microbiological trainings are commonly based on presentations or theoretical workshops. Quite frequently there is either no advanced practical training at all or it is only very limited.

This completely new designed lab course is supposed to be an extension of the microbiological seminars as part of the GMP Certification Programme “Microbiological Laboratory Manager”.

Target Group

Personnel from labs for
  •  Quality Control
  •  Hygiene
  •  Monitoring
with basic microbiological knowledge.

A special thanks for supporting this course goes to BioMérieux, Bruker, DoenitzProLab, Merck, Roche Diagnostics and  Dastex GmbH.
