Address the time-to-result challenge posed by short shelf-life radiopharmaceuticals.

20 November 2025 | 3:00 PM GMT | FREE Virtual Panel Discussion

This webinar showcases the Growth Direct System; an RMM (Rapid Microbial Method) that improves on traditional membrane filtration, delivering increased accuracy, a faster time to result, enhanced data integrity compliance, and more control over the manufacturing process.

Key learning points:

  • Understand the benefits of full workflow microbiology quality control testing automation in radiopharmaceutical production
  • Learn about ITM’s implementation journey and considerations when evaluating the technology
  • Find out how the advanced optics and microcolony detection capabilities of Growth Direct® technology impact time to result (TTR).

The Venue

Peterhouse is the oldest College of the University of Cambridge, founded in 1284 and an institution dedicated to education and research. Throughout its history, Petreans have been at the heart of the political, social and religious controversies that have shaped today’s society. Some of the influential Petreans include: Henry Cavendish, Lord Kelvin, Sir Frank Whittle and Christopher Cockerill, and Nobel Laureates – Sir John Kendrew, Sir Aaron Klug, Archer Martin and Max Perutz, who gave a twentieth century lead in the field of Molecular Biology. Since many centuries it remained as a hub for innovation and successive generations of the brightest young people around the world.
