EPR Issue 2 includes articles on the future of cell and gene therapy, the potential of AAV gene therapies, NMR relaxometry and more…
Having recently conducted a project to implement more sustainable, reliable and efficient bacterial endotoxin testing across the global Roche corporation, those involved in the project discuss with EPR’s Hannah Balfour the key takeaways from their implementation and validation, as well as current trends in bacterial endotoxin testing.
Innovation forms the basis of every emerging technology. That is certainly the case with cell and gene therapies (CGTs), and the search for efficient quality control (QC) test methods continues to grow in this pharmaceutical sector. One of the most important factors to consider while deciding on a QC method…
The future of sustainable LAL testing has arrived with ACC’s PyroSmart NextGen recombinant LAL reagent technology for bacterial endotoxin testing (BET).
This application note discusses some of the critical issues users experience with endotoxin testing around accuracy, flexibility, sustainability and platform cost.
Nelson Labs has a long history of partnering with pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies. We perform a variety of testing to support your internal quality processes including: sterility (USP 71) testing in a cleanroom for isolator environment, particulates testing (USP 787, 788) using a variety of methods, bacterial endotoxin, filter validations,…
Those who work in QC know that the job is more than a box to be checked, and that it can’t be done effectively without confidence in the reported results. Tight timelines, regulatory demands, and stringent data integrity standards can make it hard to focus on what’s really at stake…
The work of a pharmaceutical scientist requires precision, attention to detail and is of vital importance to the safety of products and ultimately patients. This section features insights from experienced scientists who’ve worked extensively in microbiological analysis, developing tests, methods and standards that help establish a foundation for the production…
This article covers the analytical criteria that apply to Bacterial Endotoxin Testing (BET) using Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) or recombinant Horseshoe crab Factor C (rFC) for the bioactivity determination of endotoxin in aqueous solutions, such as pharmaceuticals and medical device extracts. It explains the importance of these criteria for accurate…
