Learn about our precisely quantitated microbial reference materials for streamlining microbial quality control testing.

In this application note, we demonstrate the performance of MicroQuant™ in streamlining microbial quality control testing.

ATCC provides pharmaceutical testing labs with the top-quality, fully characterized strains needed to maintain the highest levels of product integrity and reputation.

ATCC has developed titered mycoplasma reference standards for comparing PCR and culture-based detection methods, and quantitative mycoplasma DNA certified reference materials for use as external controls in inclusivity/exclusivity testing and establishing limits of detection.

To ensure product safety, pharmaceutical companies must be versed in the important role of microbiological testing in product research and development, process validation, manufacturing, and quality control. Read this white paper to learn how ATCC supports the maintenance of product integrity, reputation, and safety by providing top-quality, fully characterized strains in a ready-to-use, familiar format.

In this article, we will discuss the effects of mycoplasma contamination, how this form of adulteration can affect cell-based drug development, and several quality control techniques and related products that can be used in the detection of mycoplasma contamination.
