Applications
APPLICATION OBJECTIVE
- Rapidly detect low levels of microorganisms in raw materials and finished products for pharmaceuticals, healthcare, personal care, cosmetics, over-the-counter, and household cleaning applications
- Enable manufacturers to meet regulatory needs (GMP, USP, etc.) through rapid screening of raw materials in process and finished goods for microbial contamination
- Reduce inventory needs and facilitate faster product release for manufacturers through rapid screening for microbial contamination
WHY THE BD FACSMicroCount™ SYSTEM?
- Move products to market faster by cutting product release time with rapid product screening
- Reduce working capital with less inventory needs as rapid product screening for microbial contamination reduces inventory hold time
- Respond faster to contamination events and reduce the amount of product exposed to contamination
- Generate consistency in results by eliminating operator-to-operator variability in manual counting
WHAT THE BD FACSMicroCount™ SYSTEM DOES
- Provides results in as little as 5 minutes, after 24-48 hour enrichment, instead of 3-7 days with traditional methods
- Detects bacteria, yeast and mold in the same sample
- Highly visible "Pass" or "Fail" results
- Continuous sample loading with up to 42 samples at a time
- Test up to 20 samples per hour
- Correlates strongly with traditional methods
- 21 CFR-Part 11 compliant data management system
