Sterility Testing

We offer a wide selection of sterility testing hardware, filtration units, culture media, and rinse buffers to meet the needs of your specific application.

Selecting the correct Steritest™ system configuration for your needs is simple. It starts with three basic questions:

1. What drug product are you testing?
The characteristics of your sample – especially its filtration properties, chemical compatibility and microbial inhibition potential – will help determine the optimum membrane type and canister design. Steritest™ EZ Canisters are color-coded to indicate the membrane and housing polymer combination, see Steritest™ System Wall Chart.

2. How is the drug packaged?
Steritest™ EZ Adapters accommodate virtually any type of test product packaging, while maintaining a closed filter based system. Over 13 adapters provide safe transfer from Small Volume Parenterals (SVP), Large Volume Parenterals (LVP), plastic containers, syringes containing liquids, powders and countless other types of packaging. Diluent, rinse and media addition is designed into each system to maintain simplicity and closed transfers.

3. What is the testing environment?
Steritest™ Symbio Pumps are designed for use in specific testing environments – laminar flow hoods, biosafety cabinets or isolator systems.
