New Microbial Testing Technology for Cleanrooms Announced by MOCON, Particle Measuring Systems
February 03 2016 - 8:30AM
Cleanroom operators will now be able to detect the presence of
extremely low levels of microbial cells on surfaces much faster
than traditional solutions. The capability is a result of a global
marketing agreement between MOCON, Inc. (NASDAQ:MOCO) and Particle
Measuring Systems.
MOCON’s GreenLight® system has a proven track record in
reliability, sensitivity and speed across applications in many
industries. It requires a fraction of the time needed by
traditional plate counting methods to achieve results. The
agreement gives Particle Measuring Systems exclusive rights to
market GreenLight® technology to pharmaceutical companies
worldwide.
To improve cleanroom testing, Particle Measuring Systems has
developed the SurCapt™ Microbial Surface Detection Kit, using
GreenLight® technology. This provides an all-inclusive,
ready-to-use solution which simplifies and accelerates
environmental surface testing for biological contamination. The
design of the SurCapt kit reduces the likelihood of sample cross
contamination and mishandling by the operator.
“By leveraging GreenLight® technology with our SurCapt™
Microbial Detection Kit, we are providing pharmaceutical companies
the objective evidence they are currently missing in a timeframe
that enables more effective decision-making. This breakthrough
enhances quality assurance throughout the value chain,” said
Giovanni Scialo, vice president, life sciences, Particle Measuring
Systems.
