Testing of Rapid Microbiological Methods (RMMs) – Demonstrating Equivalence to Existing Methods in Alignment with USP <1223>

26 June 2024

3:00pm

Join this webinar to hear about the latest RMM technology and how it aligns with UPS <1223> testing criteria. This webinar will cover testing strategy, and data will be presented to effectively demonstrate suitability of the Soleil for its intended use and correlation to plate counts.

This webinar outlines how the Sievers Soleil microorganism verification testing aligns with United States Pharmacopeia <1223> “Validation of Alternative Microbiological Methods.” It compares results to traditional agar plating methods, assessing against criteria in USP <61>, <62>, European Pharmacopoeia 2.6.12, 2.6.13, and Japanese Pharmacopoeia 4.05 for nonsterile product microbial examination.

The testing criteria evaluated include range, linearity, accuracy, reproducibility, robustness, precision, limits of quantitation/detection, and ruggedness. This webinar session demonstrates correlation of Soleil’s Total Viable Cell counts to colony forming units (CFU) on agar plates, with data reported in comparable CFU units.

Key learning points: 

  • Explore at-line rapid microbial method designed to monitor bioburden at ultrapure levels with results in less than 45 minutes
  • Discover how RMMs allow users to quickly and easily monitor bioburden levels throughout the manufacturing process, from raw materials to in-process samples to final product, alleviating risks and improving operations
  • Understand how to design a meaningful testing programme in alignment with USP <1223> 
  • Learn how the Sievers Soleil overcomes challenges related to implementation of RMMs and effectively meets criteria from USP <1223> and other guidance.
