Implementation of Good Lab Practices for DNA extraction & qPCR
In-person
March 09-10, 2026
The Implementation of Good Lab Practices for DNA extraction and real-time PCR Workshop, referenced as IGLP, is two-day, in-person workshop designed for both new and seasoned diagnosticians who wish to have a refresher on the practical implementation of good lab practices using nucleic acid extraction and real-time PCR for plant disease diagnostics. The workshop will cover the basics of setting up a laboratory workflow for diagnostic testing, receiving and processing samples under a PPQ 526 permit, as well as the validation and implementation of diagnostic controls. Participants will gain hands-on experience in general nucleic acid extraction and real-time PCR techniques for plant disease diagnostics with emphasis on GLP. Note that this workshop is not required for methods-based proficiency accreditation.
Note: Attendance of this workshop is not a requirement to obtain certification.
