Participants

The workshop will be attended by at least one NRL per EU Member State and is also open to NRLs from Norway, Island, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia and Singapore.

Special test kit supplier sessions: presentations and demonstration of immunochemical methods and methodology matters for rapid screening of mycotoxins in food and feed by test kit providers.

Triggered by the outcome of the last Mycotoxins Community Meeting at AOAC annual symposium in 2015 it was decided to give Test Kit Producers the possibility to update the delegates of the National Reference Laboratories (NRLs) on their products by both lecture presentations and product demonstration.

The intention of the workshop is to make NRLs familiar with current state of the art screening technologies since this category of methods has been regulated in Regulation 519/2014. It is an opportunity for the test kit supplier to present the screening test kits offers to official control laboratories. All registered companies will have a slot of 10 to max 15 minutes to introduce their products to the delegates of the NRLs. There will be also a possibility to demonstrate the products practically. The participation in the event is free of charge for companies.

The deadline for the registration is the 27th of May 2016 (midnight) via the link below: https://web.jrc.ec.europa.eu/rem/app.html#/subscription-form-screen/meetingId=53081
