WORKING GROUP OBJECTIVES

Develop a consensus standard to provide confidence and assurance in the identification of the strains being used in testing. A consensus standard would improve the credibility of validation test results since evaluators will have a standard procedure recognized by the community that can be used to authenticate the strain of the cultures used in assay validation.
