INSIGHTS ON QUALITY CONTROL

QUALITY CONTROL SOLUTIONS

  • Upperton offers analytical services designed to support the development, monitoring, and quality control testing of pharmaceutical products.

  • Explore the design services offered by the Gibco Media by Design team including cell line development, media and feed panel evaluations, bioproduction analytics and more.

  • Performing endotoxin testing? Trust your data with a Monocyte Activation Test that mimics the human immune reaction and detects both endotoxins and non-endotoxin pyrogens.

  • Traditional bioburden testing (or microbial limit testing) takes several days to grow visible colonies of microorganisms, so identifying these and initiating corrective action takes longer. The Milliflex® Quantum system quantitatively detects microbial contamination in filterable samples in as little as a third of the time it takes with traditional plate-based monitoring methods. The Milliflex® Quantum system is based on fluorescent staining of all viable microorganisms, making emerging microcolonies visible to the system when they’re still too small to be seen with the naked eye. After rapid detection, the colonies can be reincubated to grow into visible colonies and be identified by any method—an approach that cleverly combines rapid and compendial bioburden testing.

  • Pyrogen detection is one of the mandatory release tests for sterile parenteral drugs testing in the course of pharmaceutical quality control. Test methods being used are the rabbit pyrogen test (RPT), the bacterial endotoxin test (or LAL test), and the monocyte activation test (MAT).
