PacificGMP Launches Environmental Monitoring Service

PacificGMP, a Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) specializing in the development and manufacturing of biologics using single-use technology, announced recently that it has launched environmental monitoring services to the San Diego-area biopharmaceutical industry. Environmental monitoring involves on-site sampling of air, surfaces and personnel to measure the control of particles in clean room environments and manufacturing operations.

"PacificGMP is committed to serving San Diego-area biopharmaceutical companies with environmental monitoring to fulfill regulatory requirements applicable to clean room facilities and standard operating procedures," said Leigh N. Pierce, President of PacificGMP. "This environmental monitoring service fits well with our primary business of cGMP and non-GMP biologics development and manufacturing services utilizing single-use technology."

PacificGMP environmental monitoring services include measuring surface and airborne viable particles, total non-viable particles as well as establishing routine on-site sampling and process monitoring during product fill or manufacturing and pre and post processing. These services facilitate gowning qualification and cleaning validation for ISO Class 5, 6, 7, 8. In addition, the Company can assist clients with establishing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for environmental monitoring programs.
