What's covered in this webinar?
This session provides a practical overview of AST verification, with a focus on regulatory requirements, breakpoint implementation, and performance study design. Attendees will gain clarity on validation versus verification, explore common sources of variability such as MIC shifts and resistance mechanisms, and review real-world examples to help ensure accurate, reliable AST results amid evolving standards.
Learning objectives:
- Differentiate validation vs. verification and apply regulatory requirements to AST verification workflows.
- Design and assess AST performance studies, including isolate selection, breakpoint implementation, and interpretation of key metrics.
- Identify and mitigate common sources of variability and error to improve consistency and confidence in AST results.
