Robust sterility testing is essential to ensure the safety of cell therapies. However, traditional culture-based analysis takes several weeks to confirm a therapeutic’s microbial contamination, which prevents clinicians from obtaining these results before treatment. Scientists require new methods that offer high sensitivity, broad detection capabilities, and faster results.
