Dr Sandle’s presentation will look at general difficulties associated with sterility test validation; consider practical approaches to products which are difficult to test; and provide an overview of those aspects of the sterility test which are not covered in the pharmacopoeias, along with current debates about the sterility test. Both the membrane filtration and direct inoculation methods will be covered.

Pharma Test Expo 2011 will be the forum of reference for the suppliers and users of pharmaceutical test equipment, instrumentation and outsourced services in the product development and manufacturing process. Don’t miss the chance to see and hear the latest at the first fair dedicated exclusively to testing and quality assurance in the pharmaceuticals industry.
