Building a Science- and Risk-Based Bio-decontamination Strategy

This webinar explores how bio-decontamination has become a critical component of sterility assurance under evolving regulatory expectations, including EU GMP Annex 1. Attendees will learn a lifecycle-based approach to contamination control, covering microbial inactivation science, decontamination technology selection, cycle development, validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), and routine monitoring. The session provides practical guidance for building and maintaining a compliant, defensible biodecontamination strategy for isolators and barrier systems.
