Microbiological Laboratory Quality Assurance

Laboratory quality assurance A group of activities proceeded in order to ensure the validity of test results

Laboratory quality assurance according to ISO/IEC17025 clause 5.9 1. Internal quality control 2. External quality assessment

1. Internal quality control Internal quality control consists of all the procedures undertaken by a laboratory for the continuous evaluation of its work in order to ensure the consistency of results day-to-day and their conformity with defined criteria

1. Internal quality control 1.1 Personel On the job training Competency test Job assignment

1. Internal quality control 1.2 Environment Room temperature Air ventilation Air and work area cleanliness Humidity

1. Internal quality control 1.3 Equipment Equipment profile - installation - Repair and maintenance Manual and instruction Preventive maintenance program Calibration Performance check

1. Internal quality control 1.4 Reference culture Growth performance of culture media Method validation Quality control of test Competency test

1. Internal quality control 1.5 Culture media quality and water supplied Media assessment for new brand or new production lot Stock management and keeping of dehydrated media Production batch testing - ph - Performance growth - Sterility - Volume test - Color and texture

1. Internal quality control 1.6 Culture media quality and water supplied Media storage and shelf life Reagent-grade water quality - ph - Conductivity - Total metal - Residual chlorine - Total bacteria

1. Internal quality control 1.7 Glassware and laboratory apparatus Detergent and inhibitory residues Volume verification (Pipette, cylinder, micropipette, auto-dispenser) Sterility (For sterilized materials)

1. Internal quality control 1.8 Sample handling Sample identification Sample receiving and registration Sample storage Sample retention Sample disposal

1. Internal quality control 1.9 Quality control of test Positive and negative control Sterility control Replicate test

2. External quality assessment (Proficiency testing) Laboratory should regularly participate in proficiency testing to conduct performance evaluation studies among all participant laboratories. Results of such studies indicate the quality of analysis of each laboratory as compared to group performance

Quality assurance of temperature controled equipments

The main temperature controled equipments in microbiological laboratories Incubator Water bath Autoclave

Three requirements for equipment handling

Three requirements for equipment handling 1. Equipment maintenance Preventive maintenance plan by the rate of use Avoidance of cross-contamination - Clean and disinfect internal surfaces

Three requirements for equipment handling 2. Equipment calibration Calibration plan Uncertainty of measurement Temperature stability Temperature uniformity

Three requirements for equipment handling 3. Performance verification Maximum permissible error criteria (MPE) Time required to achieve equilibrium condition Monitor of the operating temperature with thermocouple or thermo data logger - Daily check - Each use check - Intermediate check

Three requirements for equipment handling 3. Performance verification Corrective action for non-conformity performance Validation after significant repair or modification
