Bioburden testing at various stages of a biomanufacturing process

As regulations in the pharmaceutical industry grow increasingly stringent, ensuring product quality through precise microbiological testing is essential. Bioburden testing plays a critical role in monitoring microbial contamination at various stages of a biomanufacturing process, safeguarding the integrity of pharmaceutical products.

This webinar explores the membrane filter technique, a regulatory-approved method for bioburden testing, offering automation through colony counters to save time and reduce labor costs. Learn how membrane characteristics directly influence the accuracy and reliability of results, helping you achieve more effective contamination control in your workflows.

What you’ll learn in this webinar:
• The importance of bioburden testing in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• How the membrane filter technique supports regulatory compliance.
• The impact of membrane characteristics on testing accuracy and reliability.
• How automated colony counters streamline the microbiological testing process.

By understanding these processes, you can optimize your contamination control measures and improve the efficiency of your biomanufacturing process.
