Validasi Metode Analisis Definisi : Validasi Metode Analisis adalah proses pembuktian atau konfirmasi pengujian yang obyektif di Laboratorium, dan bahwa metode itu memenuhi persyaratan yang telah ditentukan, yang sesuai dengan tujuan penggunaannya.
Validation • The confirmation by examination and provision of objective evidence that the particular requirements for a specified intended use are fulfilled – ISO 9000 • A process providing evidence that a method is capable of serving its intended purpose .. – detect or quantify….with adequate precision & accuracy (ISO/TR 13843:2000)
Why validate? • Benefits – Defines method performance characteristics & operational requirements (time, temp, etc) – Results are meaningful – accurate, reproducible, robust – Provides confidence in method
• Accreditation requirement (ISO 17025) – Labs required to use validated methods
Validation resources • ISO 16140 – Microbiology of food & animal feeding stuffs – Protocol for the validation of alternative methods
• ISO/TR 13843 – Water quality – Guidance on validation of microbiological methods
• AOAC – JAOAC, 2002. 85(5):1187‐1200, AOAC website • Standards : for example, Australian Standard – AS4659 series : 4 parts – qualitative, quantitative, confirmation tests, antibiotic tests
Jenis Validasi Metode • Validasi primer (Primary Validation) dilakukan jika laboratorium menggunakan metode analisis “baru” hasil pengembangan , atau metode yang di modifikasi terhadap suatu metode standard. • Validasi sekunder (Secondary validation) dilakukan untuk verifikasi, jika laboratorium menggunakan atau mengadopsi metode standard yang telah divalidasi.
Primary validation • Exploratory process – aim to establish operational conditions and performance characteristics of a new, modified, or otherwise inadequately characterised method – ISO/TR 13843 e.g. modified standard method, in‐house method, extension of matrix, introducing new technology
Validation ‐ Performance indicators • Accuracy – Relative recovery
• Precision – Repeatability (within lab) – Reproducibility (between lab )
• Sensitivity – False negative rate – Inclusivity
• Specificity – False positive rate – Exclusivity
• Measurement Uncertainty
Inclusivity and exclusivity • Inclusivity or sensitivity is the ability of the alternative method to detect the target analyte from a wide range of strains. • Exclusivity or specificity is the lack of interference in the alternative method from a relevant range of non‐target strains, which are potentially cross‐reactive.
Accuracy “the closeness of agreement between a test result or a measurement result and the true value” ISO 3534‐2:2003 • Absence of bias • Applies to results ‐ not method, equipment etc • When applied to a set of test results, involves a combination of random & systematic errors, i.e. total error
Precision “closeness of agreement between independent test results obtained under stipulated conditions” ISO/TR 13843
• Measure of distribution of random error – Standard deviation
• Not related to true value of result • Stipulated conditions – Repeatability: Same sample, procedure, operator (within lab) – Intermediate reproducibility: As above except different operator – Reproducibility: Same sample, procedure, different lab (between labs)

Assay in Food Microbiology • Qualitative method • Quantitative method
Qualitative method • method of analysis whose response is either the presence or absence of the analyte/microbes detected • either directly or indirectly in a certain amount of sample • The four performance indicators for qualitative methods are sensitivity, specificity, false negative
Quantitative method • method of analysis whose response is the amount of the analyte measured either directly (e.g. enumeration in a mass or a volume), or indirectly (e.g. color absorbance, impedance, etc.) in a certain amount of sample • for quantitative methods, parameter indicators include those of qualitative tests and : – repeatability, – reproducibility – relative standard deviations.
Uji kolaborasi • Precollaborative Study : methods comparison or precollaborative study : a study, performed by the organizing laboratory or Study Director (SD) of the alternative method against the reference method • Collaborative Studies : interlaboratory collaborative study : study of the alternative method’s performance using common samples in numerous laboratories and under the control of the organizing laboratory or SD
Studi Pre‐Kolaborasi • Tujuan Precollaborative Study : is to define the applicability claims of a proposed OMA method by demonstrating the applicability of the method to various food categories. • For OMA methods, the applicability statement immediately follows the method title. The applicability statement for microbiological methods is generally concerned with target analyte and food type coverage.
Tahapan Pre‐Kolaborasi 1. Pilih metode yang akan divalidasi 2. Lakukan in‐house ruggedness testing (prosedur pilihan) 3. Lakukan Methods Comparison/Pre‐ collaborative Study dan laporkan ke AOACI untuk persetujuan 4. Siapkan Collaborative Study protocol dan laporkan ke AOACI untuk persetujuan 5. Siapkan sampel, kirim ke participants, lakukan study dan evaluasi hasilnya 6. Siapkan laporan berisi hasil analisis, sesuai format laporan yang telah ditetapkan.
Collaborative Study • The purpose of the Collaborative Study is to provide a realistic estimate of the attributes of a method, particularly systematic and random deviations, to be expected when the method is used in actual practice.
AOAC Validation protocol • Pre‐collaborative study – 2 methods (reference and test methods), 1 lab – 20 food types using 3 inoculum levels
• Collaborative study – 2 methods, 12‐15 different labs – 6 food types using 3 inoculum levels
Perencanaan dalam tahap validasi • Tetapkan spesifikasi sesuai tujuan – What is the target organism? – What matrix? – Qualitative or Quantitative test? – Level of confidence required – Client needs

Persyaratan mikroorganisme • Typically a different isolate, strain, serotype or species is used for each food type. The product inoculation should be conducted with a pure culture of one strain. Mixed cultures are not recommended. • Microorganisms in processed foods are typically stressed, thus the contaminating microorganisms are also stressed for these types of foods. Microorganism stress may occur at the time of inoculation or during preparation of the food.
• Raw, unprocessed foods may be inoculated with unstressed organisms. Lyophilized inocula are generally used for dry powder/granulated foods and wet inocula are used for wet foods. Inoculated samples of solid food types, if included, are held at appropriate storage conditions to stabilize the population prior to analysis.
Jumlah mikroba dalam inokulum dan kontrol • Each food type is divided into at least 2 portions. One portion serves as the negative control, one portion is inoculated at a level that will produce fractional recovery • Control and inoculated test samples should be prepared at the same time. It may be advisable to prepare a third portion that has a high inoculum level.
Jumlah Sampel • The number of test portions per inoculum level is 20. • To use the statistic, test samples must be paired. If, for example, the test and reference methods each require a separate 25 g test portion because the primarily enrichment media are different, then 20 test samples of at least 50 g each should be drawn from the inoculated or control portions. From each 50 g test sample, paired 25 g test portions are prepared
• The target for the low inoculum level is typically set at the lowest detection limit of the test method, e.g. 1‐5 cfu/25 g test portion. The high inoculum is set at 10‐50 cfu/25 g test portion. Additional inoculum levels may be added as necessary.
Naturally contaminated test samples • At least 2 lots of each naturally contaminated food type are required. However, naturally contaminated products are infrequently available to most analysts. An effort should be made to obtain them as they are most representative of the method usage environment. • For these products, there is no negative control. Twenty replicates are analyzed per lot. • If all test portions are positive, dilute the test sample to obtain fractional positives and repeat analysis of the lot.
• Generate inclusivity and exclusivity data to substantiate that the method is reactive for the major serotypes of the specified microorganism and is non‐reactive to other related genera and/or species. • Select at least 50 pure strains of the specific microorganism and select at least 30 strains of potentially competitive strains to be analyzed as pure culture preparations
• For Salmonella methods, this number of target analyte strains is increased to at least 100 strains that are selected to represent the majority of known serovars of Salmonella.
Contaminated controls • Inoculated test samples and uninoculated controls are prepared at the same time. If any uninoculated control test portion is positive for the inoculated microorganism, the results are invalid and the run is repeated because it is assumed that cross contamination has occurred. • Control samples are not included with naturally contaminated food types.
Jumlah laboratorium peserta uji kolaborasi • A minimum of 10 valid laboratories data sets per food type is needed • Untuk analisis kuantitatif A minimum of eight laboratories reporting valid data for each food type is required. It is suggested that at least 10‐14 laboratories begin the analysis. • In special cases involving very expensive equipment or specialized laboratories, the study may be conducted with a minimum of five laboratories.
Berapa macam makanan yang diperlukan utk uji batas mikroba? • The number of different food categories depends on the applicability of the method. If the method is specific to only one category (e.g. detection of Campylobacter in oysters), only one type of food need be included. If the applicability is wider (e.g. detection of Salmonella in all foods), then 6 food categories shall be included in the CS. As mentioned previously, the data from both the PCS and CS studies form the basis for defining the method applicability statement
Jumlah inokulum • Each food type is divided into 3 portions. One portion serves as the negative control, one portion is inoculated at a level ( usually the low inoculum level) that will produce fractional recovery and a third portion is inoculated at a high inoculum level. • Control and inoculated test samples should be prepared at the same time. The target for the low inoculum level is typically set at the lowest detection limit of the test method, e.g. 1‐5 cfu/25 g test portion. The high inoculum is set at 10‐50 cfu/25 g test portion.
Uji statistik untuk validasi • The proportion confirmed positive for the alternative method must not be statistically different from the proportion confirmed positive to the reference method for each food type and each inoculation level. • McNemar’s test (a Chi square test) is used to compare the proportions for the methods
X 2
(a – b – 1) 2 = ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ a + b
• Where a = test samples confirmed positive by the alternative method but tested negative by the reference method, b= test samples that tested negative by the alternative method but are confirmed positive by the reference method
