Study reveals that different Bacillus strains sporulate better in different media and conditions, establishing optimal parameters to produce spores for disinfectant efficacy studies.
Here, EPR summarises Tim Sandle's review of different methods for transferring items into aseptic areas, including decontamination chambers and pass-through hatches.
Here EPR summarises the salient points of a case study, presenting a strategy for identifying worst-case sampling locations on equipment for cleaning validation.
Many quality control professionals recognise that the need to modernise microbial detection methods is at an all-time high.
Read about bioMérieux's new system, 3P® ENTERPRISE - an end-to-end solution that fully digitalises and automates the EM process.
New technologies are awaiting implementation by the pharmaceutical industry to improve and optimise processes, but as they are not compendial and may require lengthy approval processes, their adoption as a replacement for a compendial method is slow, if at all possible. Though the industry is still contemplating how to unlock…
Robust sterility testing protocols are essential to protect patients, medicine supply chains and manufacturers’ bottom lines. But how do companies build successful sterility processes?
