It is important to control or eliminate any microbial contaminants which can have a great effect on production processes, products and finally the consumer when working with pharmaceutical products. For these reasons, environmental monitoring and sampling are essential in order to prevent them from getting out of hand.

This process ensures that the manufacturing environment is maintained within the microbial levels stipulated by the regulatory authorities and ensures that the final product is safe and sterile.

Since the production procedures are conducted by human beings, it is difficult to get rid of all contaminants thus governing bodies have set some critical allowable levels for microbes that will not affect the final product and process.

USP Classification:

By following these guidelines, the product remains safe for consumers to use.

It is necessary to keep these contaminants in check because of the following reasons:

1. By regular sampling and monitoring of the environment, companies can ensure that there is proper maintenance of high standards of cleanliness and hygiene and GMPs.
2. EM allows early detection of microbial contamination, allowing them to take quick corrective measures, which prevents potential product recall and hence ensures customer safety.
3. This can also help the companies access areas with higher contamination risks, leading to improvements in their cleanliness procedures, trainings, and designs.

Some practices that can help control and maintain clean room conditions.

Controlled Employee Access:

Limiting who can enter clean rooms helps reduce the risk of contamination.

Air Quality Standards:

Keeping the air clean is very important. This means maintaining the right temperature, humidity, and microbial levels to make sure everything is up to the set levels.

Identifying Contamination Sources:

It’s important to find out where contamination might come from, like people, equipment, or materials. And by doing so, you can focus on monitoring them and fixing any issues. This can also help you focus on trends to minimize future contaminants.

We, at TM Media, provide the Absolute EM range for your environmental sampling and monitoring needs. We ensure the highest standards for our products and media so that your industrial practices can be maintained at the highest levels.
