Alternative Methods in Microbial QC: Evaluating the Use of the ATCC MicroQuant™ as a Ready-To-Use Commercial Reference Microorganism Preparation on the Growth Direct® System

In the pharmaceutical industry, maintaining the highest standards of microbial Quality Control (QC) is critical to ensure safety and efficiency of pharmaceutical products. Precisely quantified reference microbial standards play a vital role in validating alternative microbiological methods by ensuring accurate, consistent, and reproducible results.This study evaluates the use and performance of ATCC MicroQuant™ reference material with the Growth Direct® System EM and Bioburden applications, showcasing an alternative approach to traditional microbial QC.The audience will benefit by gaining insights into how the ATCC MicroQuant™ can be a precise ready-to-use reference standard that pairs well with the Growth Direct® System. This poster highlights the benefits of a precisely quantitated reference standards when validating alternative microbiological methods such as the Growth Direct® System.
