Exploring Robust Risk-Based Microbiological Control Strategy

Description:
Microbiology remains an essential tool for the detection of microorganisms present in biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical batches.

In recent years, the industry’s interest in microbiology has grown, this has been in part due to the growing resistance of certain bacteria to antibiotics, as well as the introduction of new technologies and automated solutions which provide more rapid results for faster clinical decisions -- making the most relevant information easily accessible to clinicians, significantly improving the operational efficiency of laboratories. Microbiological considerations continue to be one of the largest areas of investment from the pharmaceutical industry.

The two-day conference will explore the most pressing topics in this thriving field, from the movement toward process automation and minimisation of operator intervention, to the latest technologies in rapid microbiological testing methods and data integrity.

Key Reasons to Attend:
• Discover case studies in establishing holistic Contamination Control Strategies and Real-Time Viable Air Particle Counting with leaders in the pharmaceutical industry
• Gain insight the current state of Endotoxin testing, including alternative test methods and strategic approaches to method validation
• Explore the best practice in data integrity and the automation of environmental monitoring in the Microbiology Quality Control Lab
• Join the important panel discussion on diversity and inclusion in the workplace with an experienced line-up of speakers
• Discuss the latest developments in the detailed, rapid detection of microbes in pharmaceutical water
