Description (French)
Le projet proposé consiste à effectuer une analyse de l’ADNe sur des échantillons prélevés pour valider la méthode de stérilisation de la collecte d’ADNe sous la glace. En outre, le projet vise à préparer le laboratoire d’ADNe existant de Prairie Scientific à l’accréditation ISO 17025:2017. Ce processus d’accréditation garantira que les méthodes et pratiques du laboratoire répondent aux normes internationales de qualité et de fiabilité des résultats produits. Le projet comprendra l’élaboration d’un programme de formation pour le personnel, la validation des méthodes, le développement d’un système de gestion de la qualité et la préparation d’un audit interne. À terme, l’objectif est d’améliorer les performances du laboratoire et de faire reconnaître sa compétence en matière d’analyse de l’ADNe.
