提高能力和能力 微生物和化学测试，以支持 综合食品防御和食品安全系统 化学学科，食品防御分析轨道 项目总结/摘要 俄亥俄州农业部（ODA）消费者保护实验室（CPL）建议， 加强联邦保护全国食品供应的努力，加强州政府的监管 食物防御的效率和速度。ODA-CPL试图解决四个不同的问题 在整个五年项目期间。首先，ODA-CPL将获得全面服务合同， 最大限度地减少仪器停机时间，并绕过采购订单的漫长过程 通过国家。第二，实验室将购买和安装新仪器， 自动化采样方法的费力部分。随着越来越多的自动化成为常态， 实验室有望提高人员使用效率，并加快 分析的周转时间。第三，ODA-CPL建议聘请另一名实验室技术员， 增加支持人员的冗余，并减少科学家 支持层面的工作。这将使科学家有更多的自由接受培训， 额外的FERN方法，从而在现有方法中提供冗余， 扩大实验室的能力。最后，ODA-CPL打算定期参加 FDA的演习和活动，包括任何安全事件、能力测试、监督 活动和美国FDA要求的任何其他此类活动。在第一个项目中， 在此期间，ODA-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。实验室已同意进行任何测试， 在此事件期间收集的"有原因"样本。裁军事务厅-CPL还将参加任何实况调查团 面对面会议，同意至少派遣化学项目PI代表 化学学科ODA-CPL已经准备好进行GC-MS，LC-MS，ICP- MS，其他方法在一个时刻的通知，以支持蕨类植物网络在处理任何食物- 需要化学分析的相关紧急情况;上述措施将 通过减少周转时间、最大限度地减少仪器 停机时间，并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.
