2 Weeks Until SMi’s Pharma Microbiology West Coast Conference – Sold Out

London, United Kingdom, May 24, 2019 –(PR.com)– Rapid microbiological testing is gaining momentum in the global market as a reliable and cost-effective method to track and monitor all types of microorganisms in pharmaceutical application as well as in other industrial settings. In addition, rapid microbiology tests offer faster and more accurate methods to assist in the rapid detection of microbes and early diagnosis, therefore saving cost and inventory.

Pharmaceutical Microbiology West Coast 2019 will see the gathering of the pharmaceutical microbiology industry to bolster strategies that will improve contamination control and heightened microbial detection and identification. With over 5 hours of networking, attendees will have access to build relationships with companies across the pharma supply chain.
