WHEN YOU NEED ENVIRONMENTAL PLATES. In the context of consumables used in the compounding process, sampling media devices are essential to meet the compounding facility's requirements. Eagle recognizes the demand for high-quality consumables and provides self-locking, triple-wrapped, gamma-radiated TSA plates stored at room temperature, meeting the standards of USP . Instances where plates are crucial include: **Initial Competency Evaluation** Staff involved in compounding in Categories 1, 2, and 3 must undergo an initial competency evaluation. This involves visual observation and gloved fingertip and thumb sampling of both hands before commencing compounding. Personnel involved in compounding must consistently demonstrate garbing competency based on their Category. For Category 1 and 2 CSPs, a garbing competency evaluation is required every 6 months, while Category 3 CSPs must conduct it at least once every 3 months. **Aseptic Manipulation Competency** Surface sampling is a component of aseptic manipulation competency, mandated initially and at least every 6 months for Category 1 and 2 CSPs, and initially and at least every 3 months for Category 3 CSPs. **Microbiological Air and Surface Monitoring Program** Viable volumetric airborne particulate sampling and surface sampling are integral to the microbiological air and surface monitoring program. Viable air sampling for entities compounding Category 1 and 2 CSPs must be completed at least every 6 months; for Category 3, at least monthly thereafter, irrespective of compounding frequency. Surface sampling is conducted at the end of a compounding activity or shift but before the area is cleaned and disinfected. (and it must be conducted in conjunction with media-fill testing to assess aseptic manipulation competency).

USP <117> LABORATORY LAYOUT AND OPERATIONS 1- Laboratory layout and design should carefully consider the requirements of good microbiological practices and laboratory safety. 2- It is essential that cross-contamination of microbial cultures be minimized to the greatest extent possible, and it is also important that microbiological samples be handled in an environment that makes contamination highly unlikely. 3- In general, a laboratory should be divided into clean or aseptic areas and live culture areas. Areas in which environmental or sterile product samples are handled and incubated should be maintained completely free of live cultures, if possible. 4- If complete separation of live and clean culture zones cannot be accomplished, then other barriers and aseptic practices should be employed to reduce the likelihood of accidental contamination. 5- These barriers include protective clothing, sanitization and disinfection procedures, and biological safety cabinets designated for clean or aseptic operations only. 6- Procedures for handling spills or mishaps with live cultures should be in place, and all relevant technical personnel should be trained regarding these methods. 7- Some samples will demonstrate microbial growth and require further laboratory analysis to identify the contaminants. When growth is detected, the sample should be taken from the clean section of the laboratory to the live culture section without undue delay. 8- Subculturing, staining, microbial identification, or other investigational operations should be undertaken in the live culture section of the laboratory. 9- If possible, any sample found to contain growing colonies should not be opened in the clean zone of the laboratory. Careful segregation of contaminated samples and materials will reduce false-positive results. #laboratorylayout #microbiologylab #GMP #GLP #Microbiologist #microbiologistrole #USP #unitedstateofpharmacopia #microbiologistroleinpharma #microbiologybestpractice

Flushing the HPLC system with hot water and a specialized cleaning solution, often referred to as a "magic solution," is a crucial maintenance practice in chromatography laboratories. This procedure is essential for ensuring the integrity, reliability, and performance of the HPLC system, and it serves several important purposes. First and foremost, flushing the system with hot water helps to remove accumulated contaminants, residues, and impurities that can adversely affect chromatographic performance. These contaminants may originate from various sources, including samples, solvents, and mobile phases. Over time, they can deposit on system components such as the injector, column, and detector, leading to issues such as baseline noise, peak tailing, and reduced resolution. By thoroughly cleaning these components, flushing with hot water helps to restore optimal system cleanliness and functionality. The addition of a "magic solution" further enhances the cleaning process by targeting stubborn residues and impurities that may be difficult to remove with water alone. This specialized cleaning solution is designed to dissolve and remove organic and inorganic deposits effectively, ensuring a thorough cleaning of the entire HPLC system. By eliminating these residues, the magic solution helps to prevent issues such as carryover, cross-contamination, and column fouling, which can compromise the accuracy and reliability of analytical results. In addition to improving system cleanliness, flushing with hot water and a magic solution also helps to optimize chromatographic performance. By restoring baseline stability, peak symmetry, and resolution, this maintenance procedure ensures that chromatographic analyses are accurate, reproducible, and reliable. It enhances method robustness and compliance with regulatory requirements, which is particularly important in industries such as pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Furthermore, regular flushing with hot water and a magic solution can help to minimize the risk of system downtime, instrument malfunctions, and costly repairs. By proactively maintaining the cleanliness and functionality of the HPLC system, laboratories can avoid disruptions to their analytical workflows and ensure continuous operation. This preventive maintenance measure also helps to extend the lifespan of critical system components, including pumps, injectors, detectors, and columns, thereby preserving the long-term performance and reliability of the HPLC system. #MethodDevelopment #Chromatography #AnalyticalScience #ADL #QC #Column #Chemistry #pharmaceutical #science #chemistry

Sample Handling in Microbiology Lab: . Viable microorganisms in most microbiology samples, particularly water, EM and bioburden samples, are sensitive to handling and storage conditions. Critical parameters in these conditions include product composition, container composition, time of storage, and temperature of storage. Therfore, it is important to minimize the amount of time between the sampling event and the initiation of testing and to control, as much as possible, the conditions of storage. All microbiological samples should be taken using aseptic techniques, including those taken in support of non-sterile products. If possible, all microbiological samples should be taken under full aseptic conditions in specialized sampling areas. The areas should be as close to the point of use as possible to minimize contamination during transit.
