INCREASE EFFICIENCY WITH FASTER STERILITY RESULTS

Sterility Testing

Whether you’re releasing time-sensitive personalized medicines or manufacturing products with longer production cycles, rapid sterility testing is critical in helping ensure patient safety while enabling faster product release.

We provide safe, proven, and efficient sterility testing solutions that cut traditional sterility testing time and even provide same-shift results.

Rapid Sterility Testing for In-Process and Release Testing

Sterility testing is often one of the last steps in ensuring a drug product is safe to be released to patients. With traditional growth-based methods, it can be anywhere up to 14 days before these critical sterility results are ready, which can cause loss of momentum when demand is high or add unnecessary delays for life-saving medicines. 

Rapid Microbiological Methods (RMMs) can significantly reduce time required for sterility testing, while maintaining accuracy and reliability. Our SCANRDI® technology enables same-shift results in just 4 hours, while our BACT/ALERT® 3D solution automates previously manual steps and is trusted by more than 80% of the top 20 big pharma companies.

Rapid microbiological testing technologies are specifically designed to speed up detection times and we provide turnkey validation services to help you implement our method. Our validation protocols comply with international pharmacopoeia standards and our support is fully customizable, providing everything from validation templates to on-site personalized solutions.

Ultra Rapid Microbial Detection in Cell and Gene Therapy Products

In this study, the Most Probable Number (MPN) was used to demonstrate that the LoD of the SCANRDI® CELL-BURST is not significantly different from the LoD of a traditional plate counting method on 10 compendial strains. To show the equivalency, the proportion of positive results was compared between both methods for all strains and all dilutions with a non-inferiority test of Farrington-Manning, with a 20% margin.
