Measurement Uncertainty In Microbiology - Iso/Iec 17025

Complete guide for Estimation of Measurement Uncertainty in Microbiological Testing Laboratory as per ISO 19036: 2019.

What you'll learn

Clear understanding of Basic Statistical Concepts for measurement uncertainty estimation.

Understanding a testing activity in terms of mathematical model, to be able to identify the significant control factors for accuracy or validity of results.

Will be able to estimate measurement uncertainty for all types of microbiological testing, such as colony count, instrumental and MPN method.

Will be able to formulate effective Quality Control Plan for the laboratory utilizing the uncertainty of measurements and also can identify the scope of improvement in quality of result.

Will be able to apply “decision rule” utilizing the uncertainty of measurements, when it is required.

Requirements

Person should have a degree / diploma in science / engineering / technology.

Person should have some involvement in operational function of the laboratory (testing activity).

Person should be familiar with working in excel for making simple documentation, calculation, formatting etc.

An awareness of ISO/IEC 17025 standard would be added advantage.

Description

This course is intended for the practicing scientists, engineers and managers working in Microbiological Testing in testing laboratory or in the field of quality control activities of production organization, where Microbiological Testing is a part.Measurement uncertainty estimation in Microbiological Testing is significantly different from that for Material Testing, as in the former the item under test has living organisms which can have movement, growth and death in the medium. Because of this the extent of variation in test result is significantly high.After going through this curse, participants will be able to estimate the uncertainty of measurement in the field of Microbiological testing. Basic understanding on statistical terms, methods related to estimation of measurement uncertainty in material testing laboratory is also included in first few sessions, as some of these basic understandings is necessary for microbiology laboratory also.Persons who are not clearly familiar with the basic statistical concepts of estimation of measurement uncertainty will get clear understanding about this, through this training.Those who are already familiar with ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory accreditation system and has done the uncertainty estimations for measurements for their applications will definitely improve their understanding on the practical aspects of their activities for continual improvement.Udemy’s lifetime access to the video material and downloadable documents is certainly very useful.
