Webinar Details:

Microbial contamination within process equipment and water purification systems is a concern for pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, medical device, dietary supplement, cosmetic, and personal care industries. This type of contamination issue can lead to delays in manufacturing and product release. It is often difficult to determine the best approach to address the situation given the myriad of key factors, especially if there is a microbial biofilm present. A holistic approach based on research and experience with addressing microbial contamination, biofilm remediation of process equipment and utilities will be provided.

During the webinar we will focus on three critical elements that have been effective in trouble shooting and correcting microbial contamination issues at various sites.

• Cleaning parameters to ensure effective residue removal. A simplified laboratory screening process will be discussed along with specific examples on how information generated from these studies can be used to develop effective cleaning strategies.
• Surface and equipment design. Surface and design issues may include materials of construction, rouge, length and orientation of dead legs, slope of piping, drain-ability, and crevices. Surface and equipment design issues can lead to in-effective cleaning and sanitization.
• Disinfection/sanitization practices, which may include steam, hot water, or chemical treatments. Understanding the type of microbial contamination is important in selection of the disinfection/sanitization strategy and control of critical parameters ensure microbial efficacy.

This webinar will also include various case examples from different industries to illustrate remediation stemming from multiple issues.
