MBV AG addresses challenges in air monitoring and aseptic handling with MAS-100 Sirius®: a next‑generation active microbial air sampler created in close collaboration with pharmaceutical manufacturers and cleanroom experts.
EPR Issue 4 includes articles on manufacturing, AI/ML, vaccine development, biologics and more.
In this App Note, MBV AG showcases the MAS-100 Sirius as the advanced successor to the MAS-100 NT, offering significantly enhanced capabilities for quantitative monitoring of airborne viable particles in cleanrooms.
The proposed technique holds value for real-time monitoring and surveillance of airborne bacteria with high sensitivity and rapid results, the study showed.
The approach offers key benefits such as facilitating a reduction in the risk of microbial contamination and reduction in the required air change rate in aseptic processing.
Microbial air sampling in controlled environments should be performed isokinetically. The following text explains the isokinetic sampling process using MAS-100 instruments with a flow rate of 100 L/min and compares it with sampling at a lower flow rate of 25 L/min.
The type of clothing worn in aseptic manufacturing areas may impact the number of particle and airborne bacteria detected in biosafety cabinets.
With the outdoor environment being a primary contamination source in the pharmaceutical cleanroom, measures like good manufacturing practices (GMP) is key to reduce this risk, a paper asserts.
Highest precision with microbial air sampler MAS-100 Iso. So you can focus on the essential.
A review of current environmental monitoring practices to ensure that monitoring systems comply with the latest EU GMP Annex 1 2022.
New technologies are awaiting implementation by the pharmaceutical industry to improve and optimise processes, but as they are not compendial and may require lengthy approval processes, their adoption as a replacement for a compendial method is slow, if at all possible. Though the industry is still contemplating how to unlock…
New study suggests that Tryptone Soya Agar (TSA) settle plate desiccation during exposure can reduce recovery of airborne microbes.
Here, EPR summarises Dr William Whyte’s guidance for formally selecting cleanroom monitoring locations and action levels.
Researchers used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to assess their cleanroom airflow and suggest improvements that would reduce contamination levels.
Here, EPR summarises Tim Eaton’s explanation of the importance of assessing biological collection efficiency when selecting an air sampler.
