Rapid sterility testing method using fluorescence-based detection with Milliflex® Rapid system 2.0

Sterility testing is an essential part of validation for products manufactured according to GMP purporting to be sterile. False negative results could lead to the release of contaminated products, whereas false positives could give rise to lengthy and costly investigations. Have confidence in your sterility test results with our extensive portfolio of Quality control solutions that you can rely on for regulatory compliance e.g. with USP, the European Pharmacopoeia and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia.
