Microbiological monitoring of manufacturing processes is critical to ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and product safety.
Biotrace's Ascotec products are used to monitor the quality of the air and compressed gases in the production environment.
They are used wherever clean rooms are required for manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, personal care products and cosmetics and in other clinical environments such as hospitals to reliably capture bacteria in the environment for subsequent monitoring.
The agreement will provide industry with the ability to access the Ascotec air monitoring technologies to better enable them to achieve the goals of the U.S.
FDA Process Analytical Technology (PAT) initiative.
The PAT initiative encourages manufacturers to adopt new analytical technologies to better control manufacturing processes and provide greater assurances of product safety.
