Why can Legionella results differ even when everyone follows the same ISO standard?
In this session, Diamidex will highlight the key biases introduced across the main steps of the method and explain why ISO 11731 offers multiple protocol options - each reflecting real trade-offs labs must manage.
What you will learn:
- Why ISO 11731 is complex? And what the consequences are for recovery, comparability and interpretation.
-
Where biases occur - Common sources of variability and how they impact recovery / comparability.
-
How to think about trade-offs - Why multiple protocol variants exist and how choices influence results.
-
Practical consistency ideas - Improve consistency, result interpretation, and risk-management discussions.
