Mycobacteria Testing
Pharmacopoeial guidelines suggest that manufacturers should consider testing of cell banks, virus seeds and production batches for the presence of Mycobacteria contamination. The protocol involves using three media (two solid media and one liquid medium) and incubating for 56 days as defined by the EP 2.6.2 monograph.
A sample of test material is also challenged with a positive control strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to ensure there are no inhibitory substances present which would inhibit the recovery of Mycobacterium species.
Moredun Scientific Limited offers a regulatory compliant assay for the detection of a wide range of Mycobacterium species. The assay can be customised to include additional media, alternative control species and increased incubation times if requested.
Regulatory Compliance
Our Mycobacteria assays at a minimum meet the required regulatory standards.
