Prepared media products are ideal for environmental monitoring in the pharmaceutical industry. These Prepared Media products undergo quantitative quality control testing, using a low-dose inoculum to ensure optimum performance.
Micromaster has developed a wide range of superior quality, prepared culture media products for this purpose. which are ideal for environmental monitoring in the pharmaceutical industry.
Many Pharmaceutical products cannot be terminally sterilized so they must be manufactured in designated clean rooms. Such clean rooms require effective environmental control systems. To asset level of process control, Environmental monitoring is used in the pharmaceutical industry.
To determine the microbial load in a clean area, local ALERT and ACTION levels must be determined. These levels should reflect the capability of the environment being monitored. If results are approaching an alert level, it means there is a deterioration in control, which can be corrected before the product is at risk. Upon exceeding a threshold, a thorough investigation must be conducted. Furthermore, the data generated by monitoring can be used to identify trends and changes in established microbiological patterns, which can help identify potential problem areas and anticipate new issues.
The methods used in environmental monitoring include air sampling (using automated air samplers and passively using settle plates), surface sampling (using contact plates or swabs) and personnel monitoring.
As a leading manufacturer of superior quality prepared culture media products, Micromaster has developed a wide range of products particularly suited to the pharmaceutical industry for environmental monitoring. We offer 90mm settle plates and contact plates, Polyester Foam Swab, Saline with swabs for area validation, Stickers to avoid particle load in cleanroom, for use in environmental monitoring
