This demand for more rapid methods for detection and identification will be accompanied by equally important areas such as: environmental monitoring and contamination control strategies, process automation, and discussing updates to meet regulatory requirements.

“This year’s conference will explore guidance and regulation including the regulatory expectations on bio-contamination control and insights into the impact of Annex 1 revisions on sterile pharmaceutical product manufacturing. Furthermore, there will be an exploration into microbial detection as well as environmental monitoring and contamination controls.”
