Description: Building on the foundational concepts introduced in Part 1, this second webinar in the series focuses on the practical categorization of positive pre  and post processing cultures in tissue banking. Participants will explore how culture result interpretation varies based on tissue type and processing methodology, and how these variables influence risk assessment and processing disposition decisions. This session will walk through a structured approach to grouping culture results by tissue category and processing pathway. Attendees will learn how to translate these categories into clear SOP’s that support regulatory compliance, consistency in decision making, and recipient safety.

Featuring two speakers from different organizations, this webinar will provide practical tools and real world perspectives in culture interpretation and SOP development across diverse tissue types and processing techniques.

Target audience: This webinar is designed for tissue bank professionals involved in interpreting microbiology results and making tissue disposition decisions, including QA/QC personnel, processing and production supervisors or managers, tissue bank scientists and technical specialists, and regulatory or compliance staff responsible for SOP development and audits.
