Monitoring microbiological contamination of air in production
areas is of major importance
Environmental monitoring is an important part of quality assurance for the production environments of sterile pharmaceutical products. Especially for aseptic filling lines where products are filled without a terminal sterilization step it is of utmost importance for product safety and thus an essential part of the quality control strategy.
This study examines the recovery and viability of microorganisms captured on gelatin filters during eight hours of filtration with HEPA-filtered air from a laminar flow hood, using the MD8 Airscan® system.
