Sterility in Three Hours, Without the Cutoff Compromise

Review the technical requirements for transitioning short-shelf-life cell therapies away from direct inoculation

Brought to you bySartorius

Validating a rapid microbial method requires overcoming background contamination in standard extraction kits. When assays compensate for background DNA with strict cutoffs, the resulting false negatives make it difficult to prove the test works as well as traditional culture. Moving to a closed-system architecture controls this exposure while maintaining high-throughput capacity.

This compendium combines an editorial on drug development constraints with two technical application notes benchmarking alternative rapid release methods. The collection provides the data density needed to evaluate PCR workflows against compendial methods.
