Cleanroom environmental control and continuous active air monitoring are essential to sterile pharmaceutical manufacturing. Because agar plates, which are used in most active air sampling, can dehydrate during prolonged exposure or sampling, manufacturers must carefully manage exposure times and environmental conditions. Download this paper to see how the BioCapt Single-Use® (BCSU) microbial impactor helps overcome these limits and supports reliable cleanroom control.
EU GMP Annex 1 calls for continuous viable air monitoring throughout all critical operations from set-up to aseptic processing. Achieving this in real manufacturing conditions requires more than procedure; it depends on monitoring solutions that remain reliable over extended sampling periods while preserving culture media integrity.
Learn about the BioCapt Single-Use® (BCSU) microbial impactor, understand usage conditions and operational limits, and gain valuable insight into how continuous active air monitoring is really implemented in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Based on a global survey of Particle Measuring Systems customers using the BCSU device, this paper reveals common challenges, real-world practices, and proven strategies to strengthen routine monitoring and extend sampling duration.
