Published: 27-May-2014

Cleanroom Technology and Thermo Fisher Scientific joined forces to bring present an exclusive webinar on how to successfully perform on-site validation for settle plates and contact plates used in environmental monitoring during pharmaceutical manufacturing


Cleanroom Technology and Thermo Fisher Scientific recently presented a webinar entitled 'Microbial Control of Isolators and Cleanrooms: How to Validate the Use of a New Plate'.

John Cobb, Managing Director, Microbial Contamination Control, and Colin Booth, Global Director of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs, Microbiology Products, Thermo Fisher Scientific, addressed a number of issues surrounding TWI-PPM (Triple Wrapped Irradiated Pre-Prepared Media) plates, including:

  • Why do we need to validate our TWI-PPM and methods of use?
  • What regulations and guidelines do we see?
  • What affects TWI-PPM so much that we need to control it so tightly?
  • TWI-PPM Validations and Controls – by the Manufacturer
  • TWI-PPM Validations and Controls – by the Pharmaceutical End User
  • What do we need to see in the ideal TWI-PPM product?

The speakers also considered the features of an ideal TWI-PPM plate and how the latest Thermo Scientific product meets these requirements.
