34 - Positioning of microbiological air samplers in Clean Room and Controlled Environment

The “TRIO.BAS” microbiological air samplers have the possibility to use different holders and tripods for different positioning (vertical, horizontal, oblique). The “TRIO.BAS” may also be used in horizontal or vertical positions without the use of holder or tripods, due to their shape. The environmental microbiologist should chose the system that best covers his needs in his specific environment.

33 - Correct aseptic sampling during air sampling monitoring

The correct sampling is fundamental to avoid a microbial contamination with possible wrong results at the end of the analytical process. It is for this reason that all the staff involved in the sampling process should be trained. We are reporting some Guide Lines that should be distributed and explained to all involved personnel.

32 - Chromogenic media for colorful air microbial detection - SOP

The chromogenic media can be used for the direct identi cation of some microrganisms present in the air. An example of chromogenic media to be adopted is the “CHROMagar Orientation” of the companyCHROMagar that is succesfully used in the clinical eld, as well as food/beverage/envirnoment microbial quality control. This is a non-selective agar, similar to a TSA, but with the addition of chromogens that will allow the bacteria to grow in different colors, depending on the species.

30 - TRIO.BAS mod. Trio air sampler: WHY?

There are several reasons to adopt an air sampler with 3 aspirating heads 1. Plate Count Agar plate on left, up, and right aspirating heads (1, 2, 3) to calculate an average result and to obtain a more reliable and realistic number of Colony Forming Unit (CFU) to produce a valid statistical evaluation of the results, according to GMP (Good Microbiological Practice)

28 - USP Regulation 797 for sterile compounding

Issued by the non-pro t US Pharmacopoeia (USP) and endorsed by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), “USP Regulation 797” is the rst enforceable standard for sterile compounding. Originally enacted on January 1, 2004, the latest version became of cial on June 1, 2008. “USP 797” is a broad regulation that covers a variety of pharmacy policies and procedures. It is designed to reduce the number of patient infections due to contaminated pharmaceutical preparations.

27 - Mapping for the Microbiological Environmental condition monitoring in food production

It has been recommended that food processing plants adopt air monitoring programs to detect possible contamination sources in their regular HACCP program. Juice, ready-to-eat foods, pasta, meat, dairy and other food processing facilities have been advised to establish a system for weekly air monitoring. Air sampling of various areas (finished product, protein, fresh produce areas, etc.) yield information as to possible microbial contamination. That is to say, knowing the microbial population, number of colony forming units per cubic meter of air (CFU/m3) of a given area can be predictive of possible food contamination possibilities, e.g., yeast, molds, and pathogens.
