Our Environmental Monitoring Process

Although formulation vehicles are often quite simple, a biologics’ complex structure and composition require tailored formulation for optimum stability and product quality. The components and strategy used to strike this balance include:
1
Consultation
2
On-site Sampling
3
Reporting
Consultation

Our services start with consultation to determine your assessment needs. All our work is performed in strict compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) requirements following USP, EP, JP, ISO, or client-specified standards.

We perform testing to determine the viable population on surfaces, as well as the total and viable particulates in air and compressed gases.

On-site Sampling

Our services are performed by our qualified technicians, who are experienced in executing on-site sampling in a variety of settings. If preferred, we also supply the necessary materials and instructions to perform your own sampling, which you then send to our lab for incubation and enumeration.

Reporting

After sampling, our experienced technicians customize your final reports to include both test results and a map of the testing locations. If you perform sampling internally, you receive detailed results of the tests performed.
