Purpose of Technical Training
🔬 This e-learning training focuses on chemical and microbiological testing using rapid test kits for pharmacy and food supervisors.
🛡️ The primary goal is to enhance skills in testing for chemical and microbial contamination using rapid test kits as an alternative method.

Microbiological Testing Methods
🧪 While conventional culture-based methods remain the standard in microbiology, rapid microbiological test kits offer a faster and more efficient alternative solution.
⏱️ Rapid test kits provide quicker results without sacrificing reliability, which is crucial for tests requiring a fast response.

Validation and Reliability of Rapid Test Kits
✅ For microbiological rapid test kits, ensuring the kit has been validated by international bodies like AOAC, Microval, or NTHF is essential.
✍️ Validation guarantees that the alternative method yields results equivalent to conventional methods.
🔬 For chemical food testing kits, validation or verification must be performed to confirm the kit is suitable for its intended use.

Role of Indonesian National Drug and Food Testing Development Center (PPPOMN)
🌟 The PPPOMN (National Drug and Food Testing Development Center) verifies various alternative chemical and microbiological testing methods, including rapid test kits from different brands.
🌍 This verification process ensures the reliability of testing within Indonesia and confirms kits meet international validation standards.
🔗 Any rapid test kit verified by PPPOMN, regardless of brand, can be used for testing, supporting reliable testing to guarantee food quality and safety.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Rapid test kits offer a faster alternative to conventional microbiological testing methods, crucial for time-sensitive needs.
➡️ International validation (e.g., AOAC, Microval) is a non-negotiable requirement for ensuring the accuracy of rapid test kits.
➡️ The PPPOMN plays a key role in verifying the reliability of these alternative chemical and microbiological testing methods in Indonesia.
