High-throughput equipment training
Kansas State University hosted training workshops for high-throughput equipment in May-July 2008. The sessions were held in collaboration with the NVSL's Diagnostic Virology Laboratory and Foreign Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. Representatives from 31 NAHLN laboratories participated in a two-day training course that included an overview of high-throughput systems, instruction on equipment programming, and breakout sessions for hands-on training. High-throughput systems have been validated for use with real-time PCR for avian influenza (AI), classical swine fever (CSF), and foot-and-mouth disease (FMD).  Upon completion of training, participants were tested for proficiency.
