Advancing Confidence in Fungal Identification Workflows
Environmental monitoring programs depend on accurate fungal identification to support contamination investigations, trend analysis, and risk assessment. However, some fungal isolates can be difficult to characterize using routine methods, creating uncertainty and potentially requiring additional testing or external resources. As manufacturing environments become more complex, laboratories are seeking reliable approaches to improve confidence in fungal characterization.
In this webinar, experts will examine current challenges in fungal identification and discuss practical strategies for achieving more consistent species-level characterization. Attendees will gain insights into considerations that can help strengthen environmental monitoring workflows and support informed decision-making.
Attend this webinar to:
- Review comparative performance data for molecular assays targeting the full ITS, D2, and ITS2 regions across a representative panel of environmental fungal isolates
- Understand the role of target region selection and reference library design in supporting species-level fungal characterization
- Explore common challenges associated with characterizing difficult fungal isolates within environmental monitoring workflows
