Celsis International is offering its rapid microbial detection capability as an outsourced service for pharmaceutical and consumer products companies. According to the company, the results -- presence or absence of microbial contamination -- are delivered in less than half the time as conventional agar methods, according to the company. Earlier identification of contamination allows for faster corrective action. The company's proprietary ATP bioluminescence technology offers speed and sensitivity that ensures detection of slow growing microorganisms even in the presence of non-microbial ATP.
Celsis Analytical Services, a Celsis division that provides contract chemical and biological science laboratory services, will use the company's rapid microbial detection technology to rapidly test samples for organisms in five days or less upon compound receipt. Results are sent electronically to customers for immediate notification of the presence or absence of yeast, molds or bacteria.
"Compared to traditional agar methods, rapid microbial detection means customers can release finished products faster and reduce their manufacturing lead times," said John Daniels, vice president of analytical services. "When contamination events do occur, earlier detection results in earlier containment and response."
Celsis Analytical Services has laboratory facilities in Edison, NJ, and St. Louis, MO. Both locations are FDA registered and operate under cGMP standards.
