Despite the promise of biofluorescent particle counters (BFPCs) as an alternative and rapid microbiological method and process analytical technology, their implementation thus far has predominantly occurred in non-GMP environments. In this article, EPR’s Hannah Balfour explores the reasons, with comment from Mike Russ, Senior Manager, Head of QCLS/Analytical Science and…
Given industry's recent focus on the sustainability of bacterial endotoxin testing (BET), here, AstraZeneca colleagues Miriam Guest, Karen Capper, Dennis Wong and Phil Duncanson share how they worked to establish a short-, mid- and long-term strategy to optimise BET across the global enterprise. They also explore some of the short-term…
Features in this in-depth focus explore the development of a sustainable approach to bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) within a global enterprise, as well as progress towards the use of biofluorescent particle counters for water bioburden applications.
In EPR Issue 4, experts discuss implementing a global strategy to improve the sustainability of endotoxin testing, how to accelerate timelines for manufacture of multi-specific antibodies and the potential of oncolytic viruses as a therapy for glioblastoma. Also featured: progress towards smart vaccine manufacturing, an update on edible anticounterfeiting technology,…
