Stakeholder Program on Agent Detection Assays (SPADA)

AOAC SPADA Call for Interested Stakeholders and Working Group Participants & Experts

ABOUT AOAC SPADA:

AOAC SPADA is the AOAC Stakeholder Program on Agent Detection Assays (SPADA) which is celebrating 16 years of developing and advancing analytical capability for detection of biothreat agents.

NEW WORK LAUNCHED:

The AOAC Stakeholder Program on Agent Detection Assays (SPADA), a funded integrated science program, launched new work in SMPRs for amplicon sequencing in developing SMPRs and guidelines for amplicon sequencing methods. While finalizing the SMPR for amplicon sequncing methods, SPADA is now gearing up to initiate the effort on metagenomic sequencing.
