Release of the 2009 Supplemental Information Packet for the QCPI Manual


BD Diagnostics is committed to keeping our customers updated, so we are very pleased to announce the release of a supplemental information packet to the BBL Quality Control and Product Information (QC/PI) Manual for Plated and Tubed Media. As always, the manual contains the quality control and product information for our most popular plated and tubed media as well as all media exempt from user quality control testing as outlined in CLSI Approved Standard M22-A3: Quality Control for Commercially Prepared Microbiological Culture Media.

This new supplement contains seven new inserts being added to the manual and eight inserts that were revised. The new inserts should be added to the existing manual (in alphabetical order) and the revised inserts should replace the older versions. The supplement also contains an updated Table of Contents for your convenience.
