Reports suggest the global sterility testing market will grow because of the expansion of pharma and biopharma, increasing R&D activities and the launch of new products.
While membrane filtration is often straightforward, some sample types can be challenging. These include difficult-to-filter viscous oils, water-in-oil emulsions and fatty base ointments as well as samples containing substances that inhibit microbial growth.
Nelson Labs has a long history of partnering with pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies. We perform a variety of testing to support your internal quality processes including: sterility (USP 71) testing in a cleanroom for isolator environment, particulates testing (USP 787, 788) using a variety of methods, bacterial endotoxin, filter validations,…

This is the third paper in our continuing series on Rapid Microbiological Methods (RMM) that will appear in European Pharmaceutical Review during 2012. Rapid sterility testing is one of a number of applications that novel microbiological technologies afford the pharmaceutical industry. RMM technologies have already been validated and implemented for…
