Traditional microbiological test methods may not meet the turnaround time required to release the critical therapies needed by patients based on the rise in novel and compounded therapies.
The EU GMP Annex 1 revision and the recently proposed USP Pharmacopeial Forum draft chapters stress the importance of incorporating alternative microbiological methods in process/facility monitoring and release test methods.
The PDA Alternative Microbiological Methods Workshop 2024 navigates the evaluation and adoption of rapid and alternative microbiological methods with a focus on emerging and alternative technologies and innovations that will push the industry forward.
