WHO technical workshop on stability of reference materials for biological medicines and in vitro diagnostics, Geneva, Switzerland, 28-29 November 2005.
In November 2005, the World Health Organization convened an informal technical workshop on the stability of reference materials for biological medicines and in vitro diagnostics. The meeting was attended by experts from WHO collaborating centres in the area of biological standardization, national control laboratories, industries and other relevant organizations. The consultation group discussed current practices and approaches to predicting and monitoring the stability of biological reference materials. The group agreed to the need for establishing a working group (i) to continue dialogue on potential issues encompassing the principles, strategies and practicality for assuring the stability of WHO international reference standards for biological medicines and in vitro diagnostics and (ii) to develop more detailed guidance for assessment of the stability of WHO international biological reference materials.
