This course describes the use of stable isotope methodology to assess vitamin A status and evaluate the impact of vitamin A interventions in populations at risk of deficiency
The Workshop aims to transfer information and strengthen the capabilities of developing country scientists and laboratory middle-management in analytical techniques and methodologies, relevant guidelines and regulations and the theoretical and technical aspects of screening and post screening techniques for the detection of veterinary drug residues, including, radio-assay, microbial inhibition, immunological, thin layer chromatographic (TLC) and high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) techniques; quality assurance/quality control principles according to ISO Standard 17025 that are relevant to veterinary drug residue analysis; and, to discuss the various possible roles of quality assured laboratories in monitoring the effectiveness of good farming practices. The information and training material provided is intended to facilitate further training by the workshop participants of personnel in their home countries, i.e., training-the-trainers.
