Microbiological analysis
Microbiological analysis according to the European Pharmacopoeia
Quality control for the pharmaceutical industry with standardised analytical methods
Medicinal products marketed in the 36 Member States of the European Pharmacopoeia must comply with stringent quality standards. To ensure this, it is essential for companies in the pharmaceutical sector to carry out microbiological control analyses in accordance with the methodologies described in this regulatory compendium. The European Pharmacopoeia includes general monographs on the manufacture of medicinal products, analytical methods applicable to active substances and finished products, as well as to raw materials used in the sector. These methods apply not only to medicines described in the pharmacopoeia, but also to non-included medicinal products, cosmetics and food supplements. Adapting analytical processes to these requirements ensures the quality and safety of products before they reach the final consumer.At AINIA, we add value
