Rapid Microbial Method Returns

WEBINAR

Introduction

For decades, the original Milliflex^® Rapid system, discontinued in 2018, helped QC labs to substantially reduce the time-to-result of sterility, bioburden, in-process and product release testing. The growing need in the industry for proven microbial testing systems has now persuaded us to reintroduce it. The Milliflex^® Rapid 2.0 system will be equipped with a range of new features but still be based on the same proven ATP bioluminescence technology and offer the same performance.

Join our product and application experts Estelle Zelter, Adrien Venchiarutti, and Anke Hossfeld for a 45-minute webinar and discover how you can benefit from the revived and enhanced rapid microbial detection platform.

The Agenda:

Presentation of the enhanced Milliflex^® Rapid 2.0 system
Technology and key features
Demonstrated applications in sterility and bioburden testing
Validation approach for alternative methods (incl. use case)
Q&A session and feedback
