Objectives
The formulations of many microbiological media are described in the Pharmacopoeias but with the international harmonisation activities a lot of changes took place.
During this Education Course, you will get familiar with all GMP-relevant aspects of culture media. Experts from pharmaceutical industry and media manufacturing will show you their approach in practise and share their experience from daily business.
Background
Culture media are of essential importance for the microbiological quality control. Or, put it in another way, without culture media there would be no microbiological QC.
The quality of the used media has a direct influence on the results of microbiological analysis. For that reason a strict quality control and assurance of the media is necessary, irrespective whether the media are produced in own laboratories or purchased from a supplier.
Culture media are used for
Microbiological Monitoring
Media Fills
Enumeration Tests
Test of Specified Microorganisms
Sterility Test
Microbial Identification
For all these tests, media are used with different requirements relative to composition and consistency. For instance, media used for environmental monitoring must guarantee the growth of a preferably broad spectrum of microorganisms. In contrast, the detection of specified microorganisms requires selective media which cultivate a special organism and inhibit the growth of |
