2024 BioPharma & Life Sciences Connected Live (Ireland)

Don't Miss TSI Expert Speak

Mike Dingle, Senior Product Specialist, will be talking "Biofluorescent Particle Counting (BFPC) – a Solution for Meeting Annex 1 Viable Air Testing Requirements".

Annex 1 of the European Good Manufacturing Practices is the most widely followed guidance in the world for the monitoring of pharmaceutical cleanrooms. After numerous drafts and pandemic related delays, an update was released in 2022.

A push for modernization is a theme throughout the new EU GMP Annex 1 document. This is viewed as a way to not only avoid shortages through increased production, but to also improve quality.

Biofluorescent Particle Counters (BFPC), like the TSI BioTrak™ Real-Time Viable Particle Counter, are a modern method for viable air monitoring in Grade A environments that is fully automated and provides results in real-time. Implementing use of this instrument in place of traditional microbiological methods increases process understanding and eliminates interventions that interrupt production and introduce risk.
