# NH PHL Discipline A Microbiology Analytical Track 5 capability-capacity development

> **NIH FDA U19** · NH STATE DEPT/HLTH STATISTICS/DATA MGMT · 2020 · $75,000

## Abstract

Discipline A: Microbiology 
Analytical Track 5: Microbiology Capability/Capacity Development 
To build additional capability and expand the national capacity in microbiological areas of 
emerging technology where the FDA has identified a specific need. The NH PHL will develop the 
capability to test for Cyclospora in human food product and environmental samples. 
The New Hampshire Public Health Laboratories (NH PHL) will purchase appropriate equipment 
and supplies such as filters, rotary shaker, vacuum manifold, heating block and reagents. The NH 
PHL has thermocyclers, Dynal bead system, fluorescent microscope and gel electrophoresis 
systems. Personnel will be trained on the FDA BAM 19b method: Molecular Detection of 
Cyclospora cayetanensis in Fresh Produce using real-time PCR. Appropriate proficiency testing 
will be either purchased or developed in-house to demonstrate competency in the newly 
developed method. 
NH PHL will participate and pass annual proficiency tests, attend the LFFM Face-to-Face meeting 
and monthly calls, maintain ISO 17025 accreditation, maintain facilities and personnel necessary 
to complete the work proposed, and provide a detailed quarterly summary of all samples collected 
and analyzed. The NH PHL will maintain a valid 20.88 agreement with the FDA.
