It is incumbent on pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers to maintain microbiological quality. With the expanding scope of regulations, interest in contamination control is on the rise, and laboratories will have to find reliable ways of identifying, monitoring and controlling the microorganisms present in their manufacturing environments.

Environmental monitoring programs enable evaluation of microorganisms present in cleanrooms and production facilities as well as in water systems used in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Identification of microorganisms is only one of the several components of an effective monitoring program. Knowledge about microorganisms of concern and proper evaluation of microbiological testing methods are some of the other components of a successful program.

The Growing Importance of Environmental Monitoring in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Custom microbial controls based on environmental isolates help fill this gap. Traditional reference microorganisms will always be essential in pharmaceutical microbiology.

However, the microorganisms recovered from a specific manufacturing environment provide site-specific challenges for evaluating the microbiological testing methods.

June Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. in collaboration with Microbiologics USA recognize this need and offer customized environmental control microorganisms to the pharmaceutical industry.

The Custom Solutions program from Microbiologics offers a high degree of flexibility to the customer.

Microbial controls can be created in a variety of formats and population ranges based on the requirements of the laboratory. June Enterprises describes a customized range from approximately 10 to 100 CFU per 0.1mL to higher microbial concentrations up to 10⁸ CFU.

The program also supports the phenotypic and genotypic identification of environmental isolates, allowing the laboratories to better define the characteristics of the microorganisms recovered from their sites.

 Other features include:

1. Customized ready-to-use formats of microbial controls.
2. Preservation and storage of customer isolates for future use.
3. Confidentiality of customer’s proprietary information.
4. Quality control of the shipment.
5. Training on the selection and usage of appropriate controls.
6. Various formats that simplify laboratory operations.
7. Reduction of the time need to prepare in-house working controls.

These features can facilitate the operation of laboratories and ensure microbiological test are conducted in a consistent manner.

Meeting Critical Pharmaceutical Microbiology Requirements

Environmental isolates can support the following activities related to microbiological quality assurance:

1. Growth Promotion Testing determines the microbial growth promoting capability of a culture media.
2. Disinfectant Qualification evaluates the efficiency of disinfectant against the microorganisms present in the pharmaceutical manufacturing environment.
3. Antimicrobial Effectiveness Testing: Support assessment of the effectiveness of antimicrobial preservation systems.
4. Aseptic Processing Environmental Monitoring: providing pertinent microbial controls for laboratory activities associated with a contamination control program
5. Method Suitability Testing: Microbiological Test Method verification with respect to the sample and microorganisms.
6. Neutralization Method Validation: Determination of the efficacy of a procedure to neutralize the antimicrobial activity.
7. Pharmaceutical Water Testing: Incorporating relevant microbiological quality control activities with respect to the water system isolates.

These applications can provide a means for a more comprehensive, scientifically justifiable approach to microbiological quality assurance.

From Isolate to Controls, Ready to Use

The Microbiologics Custom Solutions program simplifies the development of customized microbial controls.

Following an evaluation of the laboratory’s requirements, the customer provides information regarding the microorganisms and the intended test applications. The request and the quotation are approved, and an agreement is reached for laboratory to send in its isolate.

Microbiologics, Purify, Identify, preserves, and produces the microorganism in the most appropriate test-ready form.

The average time for the production of a control is 10-12 weeks from the time the isolate was received, depending on the project requirements.

Conveying Global Microbiological Know-How to Local Indian Labs

As the distributor of Microbiologics in India, June Enterprises can now bring globally recognized microbial reference materials and quality control solutions to the Indian pharma, bio, and life science labs.

June Enterprises provides a complete microbiological control solution to its customers qualitative and quantitative microbial controls, growth promotion testing and other ready-to-use products. Additionally, it provides customized environmental isolate controls and solutions.
