FEATURED ARTICLES
-
Here, we review the Technical Report outlining how particle counters are used to classify and monitor cleanroom performance, ensuring it meets required standards under normal operating conditions.
-
Environmental monitoring in cleanrooms should be performed using suitable techniques that meet the needs of the risk assessment. Learn about the requirements, typical instrumentation features, and more.
-
Acquire a thorough understanding of environmental monitoring, covering the fundamentals of particle counting and cleanroom designs, regulatory expectations regarding market release, and more.
-
We highlight the changes to the new revision of the EU GMP Annex 1 regulatory standard for sterile drug products that was released in August 2022.
-
Discover how an effective approach to risk management can further ensure the delivery of a high-quality drug or medicine to the patient.
-
Quality experts are facing the challenge of rethinking their roles and redesigning the quality systems of their pharmaceutical companies to be based on the concepts of data quality.
-
Thoughtful questions regarding how the USP <1788> revision expands the scope of testing requirements to include newly viable technologies such as flow imaging and new therapeutic protein solutions.
-
In this study, we review the performance of collecting contamination from continuous three-hour samplings using the BioCapt® Single-Use under unidirectional airflow, at 22 °C with 48% relative humidity.
-
This paper addresses the various forces, the losses, and what are the acceptable results to allow for a better understanding what is acceptable particle loss in tubing.
-
A recent revision to the USP 1788 Methods for Determination of Subvisible Particulate Matter was published to aid in clarification and support of the information given in various chapters. With the advent of flow imaging technologies and new therapeutic protein solutions, the scope of the document was widened. Here we explore the applicability methods, particle count limits, test method influences and more.
WEBINARS
-
Industry expert Mark Hallworth guides viewers through the latest ISO document (ISO 14644), exploring the reasons behind the decisions made by the team during its development.
-
This webinar provides insight to the new standard for microbiological monitoring and control, ISO/EN 17141, and how it harmonizes with ISO 14698 parts one and two.
-
Review the latest revisions to the USP<1788>, which has expanded to support a holistic view of finished product contaminants, how they should be investigated, and added flow imaging technologies.
-
In this webinar we review how to be compliant with the most recent particle counter calibration requirements, particle counter terminology, and how a particle counter works in theory.
-
Learn how the BioCapt® Single Use microbial impactor for cleanroom monitoring satisfies the requirements of new EU GMP Annex 1 and is an efficient device under stress conditions.
-
Modern pharmaceutical manufacturers are already generating and managing big data from environmental monitoring; the next step is to create actionable insights and ensure 21CFR11 compliance. This webinar discusses data collection, 21CFR11 data management and the generation of actionable insights.
-
The New Annex 1 has some critical changes that are important to understand and start applying. While the drafts cover many areas of environmental monitoring in-depth, this webinar by Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) experts focuses on the Viable/Microbial Air Monitoring aspects.
-
Sometimes we focus on data while forgetting how poor practices, bad decisions, incorrect definitions, and lack of evaluations effect the outcome. In this webinar, we analyze how to go from “data” to “data quality” to improve your overall contamination control strategy.
-
Settle plates are a non-validatable method as it is simply based on the physical principle of the downfall of a particle on a surface. We discuss the using active air sampling versus passive air settle plate monitoring in routine environmental monitoring.
-
Defining a Contamination Control Strategy (CCS) is unique for each process and requires an intimate understanding of both the process and how to implement an effective strategy.
