Charles River Microbial Solutions announced it has partnered with Microbiologics for quality control testing in the clinical, pharmaceutical, food, water and educational industries.
Through this distribution agreement, Charles River customers can use Microbiologics’s capabilities to facilitate the preservation, manufacturing and secure storage of their isolates into a customized quality control reagent kit. Customers can then demonstrate that bacterial or fungal species found in their production environment that represent risk are detectable when used in growth promotion of media, sterility testing, preservative effectiveness and validation studies.
Users select and analyze microorganisms considered objectionable to the product or patient and convert them into a QC reagent. By using the Accugenix Customer Web Portal features such as "track and trend," users can choose the organisms of concern to become a controlled reagent for compendial testing.
