Key Factors for Optimizing Microbial Air Sampling
Microbial air sampling in pharmaceutical manufacturing relies on surface, passive, and active methodsāeach using media like agar to capture microbial growth. While techniques vary, accurate results depend on collection efficiency. This paper focuses on active air sampling and how to optimize performance across all methods.
Environmental Monitoring Best Practices Handbook *New Volume 2026*
The second volume of the Environmental Monitoring Handbook for Pharmaceutical Manufacturers provides updated guidance on monitoring in glove boxes and isolators, microbial sampling criteria, Annex 1 (2022) changes, and particle loss in transport tubing. It offers a clear, practical understanding of environmental monitoring tools, techniques, and riskābased approaches for compliant, wellācontrolled operations.
