The primary aim of the CONF-IDENT scheme is to enable laboratories performing confirmation and identification of microorganisms to monitor their performance and compare it with that of their peers. The CONF-IDENT scheme also aims to provide information to participants on technical issues and methodologies relating to identification and confirmation of microbiological cultures. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
