Increasing Vet-LIRN Testing Capacity at the Nebraska Veterinary Diagnostic Center

食品和药物管理局(FDA)兽医中心的目标 实验室响应网络(VET-LIRN)诊断实验室计划旨在建设能力 和基础设施，以增强FDA的兽医相关样本分析能力 通过与Vet-LIRN网络实验室合作。具体地，测试能力可以是 在动物性食物或药物相关疾病或其他大规模动物性食物或 与药物有关的紧急事件，需要进行大规模检测。额外的资金将 支持动物污染或掺假的调查和监测任务 食物或药物。内布拉斯加州大学提高了测试能力和能力 兽医诊断实验室(UNLVDC)将包括对 动物性食品或药品、与动物性食品或药品有关的环境样品 临床样本的生产和/或动物诊断性尸检或微生物检测。在……里面 要求对食品或药品进行生物测试的活动，UNLVDC将 通过以下方式对收集并提供给实验室的诊断样本进行选定的分析 FDA或其他机构的要求。尽管UNLVDC没有专门的毒物学部门， 联合国志愿人员方案可通过支持微生物和生物多样性方案为整个特派团作出贡献 根据需要进行病理检查。合作协议的总体目标是支持， 利用和加强大学、州和联邦兽医诊断实验室检测 在案件调查期间的能力，并加强能力和支持研究 国家食品安全体系。该程序还将用于提供分析数据，使用 标准化方法、设备、分析工作表和电子报告。 能力的展示将包括参加能力测试和其他 实验室间的比较和练习(如有)。标准质量管理体系 将得到增强。小规模的方法开发和方法验证项目将 按照VET-LIRN计划办公室的指示执行。这项协议的资金将是 用于用品，测试费，设备维护，继续教育旅行，以及 人事时间。

The objective of this Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) Laboratory Response Network (Vet-LIRN) Diagnostic Laboratory Program is to build capacity and infrastructure to enhance veterinary related sample analysis capabilities for the FDA through cooperation with Vet-LIRN network laboratories. Specifically, testing capacity may be required in the event of animal food or drug related illness or other large scale animal food or drug related emergency events that necessitate large scale testing. Additional funding will support investigation and surveillance assignments of contamination or adulteration in animal food or drugs. Testing capacity and capabilities enhanced at the University of Nebraska Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (UNLVDC) will include microbiological analysis and testing of samples such as animal food or drugs, environmental samples related to animal foods or drug production, and/or animal diagnostic necropsy or microbiological testing of clinical samples. In the event requiring testing for biological testing of food or drug products, the UNLVDC will perform selected analyses of diagnostic samples collected and supplied to the laboratory by FDA or other agencies as required. Although UNLVDC lacks a dedicated toxicology section, UNLVDC can contribute to the overall mission through support of microbiological and pathological testing as needed. The overall goal of the cooperative agreement is to support, utilize, and enhance university, state, and federal veterinary diagnostic laboratory testing capabilities during case investigations and to bolster capacity and support research to enhance the national food safety system. The program will also be used to provide analytical data using standardized methods, equipment, analytical worksheets, and electronic reporting. Demonstration of competency will include participation in proficiency testing and other interlaboratory comparisons and exercises as available. Standard quality management systems will be enhanced. Small scale method development and method validation projects will be performed, as directed by the Vet-LIRN Program Office. Funding from this agreement will be used for supplies, testing fees, equipment maintenance, travel for continuing education, and personnel time.
