Hot Topic: Pharmaceutical Water Systems Discussed at Pharmaceutical Microbiology 2017

London, United Kingdom, November 26, 2016 --(PR.com)-- In its 6th successive year, Pharmaceutical Microbiology 2017 will bring together MHRA, Paul Ehrilch Institut, Sanofi, Lonza, Steris, Pfizer and many more to explore the topics of contamination and endotoxins, quality assurance and control, environmental monitoring, new mechanisms of detection and the newly added topic of pharmaceutical water systems.

With water being used within the manufacturing process of pharmaceutical products, it is a necessity to analyse the water to ensure there is no microbial contamination as this could lead to corruption of the end product. Mettler-Toledo Thornton and Public Health England have recently been added to the 2017 agenda to discuss this vital topic.

James Cannon, Head of OEM and Markets from Mettler-Toledo Thornton will be providing a session on ‘Real Time Microbial Detection for Pharmaceutical Water Systems’. He will touch upon the current pharmacopeia and regulatory position on adoption and implementation of alternative microbial technology and discuss how the combined technologies of Light Induced Fluorescence and Mie Scattering detect microbial contamination in pharmaceutical water. He will also present a case study on real time microbial detection systems that are installed on WFI and PW systems as well as provide validation guidance for utilization of alternative microbial detection technology.

Also discussing pharmaceutical water systems is Bharat Patel, Consultant Microbiologist from Public Health England. Bharat will provide a presentation on ‘Pseudomonas and water: A practical insight from PHE (Public Health England)’. This session will look at: water sources and potential pseudomonas aeruginosa contamination, pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical infections and how to protect the patient.

Two CPD certified pre-conference workshops will also be hosted alongside the conference by Sanofi and STERIS Corporation and Battelle Memorial Institute.
