提高能力和容量 微生物和化学检测支持 食品防务与食品安全一体化体系 化学学科，食品防务分析轨道 项目摘要/摘要 俄亥俄农业部(ODA)消费者保护实验室(CPL)提议 加强联邦政府保护国家粮食供应的努力，并加强州政府的监管 食品防御的有效性和速度。官方发展援助-CPL寻求解决四个不同的问题 在整个五年的项目期内。首先，ODA-CPL将获得全方位服务合同，以 最大限度地减少仪器停机时间，并绕过采购订单的漫长流程 通过这个州。其次，实验室将购买和安装新的仪器，旨在 使样本方法的繁琐部分自动化。随着更多的自动化成为标准， 预计实验室将提高人员使用效率，并加快 周转时间分析。第三，ODA-CPL提议聘请另一名实验室技术员 增加支持人员的裁员，并减少科学家 支援级工作的支出。这将允许科学家在以下领域接受更多自由的培训 额外的蕨类方法，从而在现有方法中提供冗余，或者 在实验室中扩展能力。最后，官方发展援助--CPL打算定期参加 FDA的演习和活动，包括任何安全事件、熟练程度测试、监视 美国食品和药物管理局要求的活动和任何其他此类活动。在第一个项目期间 在此期间，官方发展援助-CPL已经在为2021年总统就职典礼做准备 仪式定于2021年1月举行。实验室已同意对 在这次活动中收集的“原因”样本。官方发展援助-CPL还将参加任何LFFM 面对面的会议，同意至少派化学项目PI代表 化学学科。Oda-cpl已准备好进行GC-MS、LC-MS、ICP-MS MS，其他方法，以支持蕨类网络处理任何食物- 需要进行化学分析的相关紧急情况；上述操作将 通过减少周转时间、最大限度地减少仪器 停机时间，以及在突然缺勤或生病的情况下为人员提供冗余。

Increasing the Capability and Capacity of Microbiological and Chemical Testing to Support an Integrated Food Defense and Food Safety System Chemistry Discipline, Food Defense Analytical Track Project Summary / Abstract The Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) Consumer Protection Laboratory (CPL) proposes to strengthen federal efforts to protect the national food supply and enhance the state’s regulatory effectiveness and speed in food defense. ODA-CPL seeks to address four different problems over the entire five-year project period. First, ODA-CPL will secure full-service contracts to minimize instrument downtime and bypass the long process of procuring a purchase order through the state. Second, the laboratory will purchase and install new instruments designed to automate laborious parts of sample methods. As more automation becomes the norm, the laboratory is expected to improve efficiency of personnel being used as well as speed up turnaround time of analysis. Third, ODA-CPL proposes to hire another laboratory technician to increase redundancy in support staff as well as reduce the amount of time scientists are spending on support-level work. This would allow more freedom for scientists to be trained in additional FERN methods and thus provide either redundancy in existing methodology or expansion of capability in the laboratory. Lastly, ODA-CPL intends to regularly participate in FDA exercises and activities, including any security events, proficiency tests, surveillance activities and any other such exercise as requested by the US FDA. During the first project period, ODA-CPL is already preparing for an activation for the 2021 Presidential Inaugural Ceremonies scheduled in January 2021. The laboratory has agreed to perform any testing on “for cause” samples collected during this event. ODA-CPL will also participate in any LFFM face-to-face meetings, agreeing to send the Chemistry Project PI at minimum to represent the chemistry discipline. ODA-CPL is already operationally ready to perform GC-MS, LC-MS, ICP- MS, other methods at a moment’s notice to support the FERN Network in handling any food- related emergency where chemical analysis is required; these actions described above will further supplement that readiness by reducing turnaround time, minimizing instrument downtime, and providing redundancy for personnel in case of sudden absence or illness.
