Senior Principal Scientist -BioVigilant
Azbil North America Research and Development
Dr. Allison Scott is a senior principal scientist specializing in the BioVigilant IMD product line at Azbil North America Research and Development, Environmental Particle Solutions.
She has been a member of the Azbil BioVigilant team since 2010, where a majority of her work has focused on the evaluation of the company’s rapid microbial detection technology, its diverse applications in air and water monitoring, and in supporting end users in its implementation.
She is actively involved in an industry work group focused on increasing the knowledge, use and acceptance of bio-fluorescent particle detection technologies like the IMD system, and has co-authored a number of technical articles and posters on the subject. She has over four years of additional biologic detector experience gained through work on an infrared-based sensor for use in the detection of microbes in water supplies.
She earned her joint doctorate in materials science and engineering from the University of Arizona and in materials chemistry from the University of Rennes.
Bio-fluorescent particle counters, like BioVigilant’s IMD-W Online Water Bioburden Analyzer, can deliver a real-time health check of pharmaceutical waters through continuous monitoring and instantaneous microbial detection to enhance process understanding and drive decision-making. In this webinar, we’ll review the capability of the IMD-W system to detect stressed organisms, like Burkholderia cepacia, and recognize biofilm growth. Also addressed will be testing recommendations based on a user’s application and implementation plans.
