Microbiology Quality Control Seminar

A seminar on microbiology quality control – designed to help medical device manufacturers validate sterilization and cleaning processes, and maintain controlled environments – will be on Thursday, May 16, 2013, in Boston, Mass. 

“For today's medical device manufacturers, the challenge is to validate their sterilization and cleaning processes to ensure patient safety and product integrity. This seminar will focus on a host of issues pertaining to the sterilization of medical devices including sterilization validation, bioburden, sterility, and endotoxin testing, as well as submitting samples to a contract testing laboratory,” states Steven Richter, Ph.D., president and scientific director of Microtest Laboratories, which is hosting the event.

Topics at the “Microbiology Quality Control Seminar” will include:

• MICRO 101
• Sterilization Validation
• Bioburden Testing
