Microbial testing of pharmaceutical & cosmetics
Comprehensive microbiological testing to ensure the safety, quality, and regulatory compliance of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.
Need of Microbial Testing
- India owns a huge market of pharmaceutical and cosmetics products. To match up with the increasing demand for quality products, the manufacturers strictly look into all the aspects that are needed to keep the product safe from microbial contamination.
- Microbial contamination when overlooked can possess a great threat to the manufacturing process, especially from a medical and economic standpoint. As the owner of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, it becomes very crucial for the manufacturers to identify and prevent microbial contamination throughout its process.
What is Microbial Testing
- Microbial contamination has always been an everlasting problem for all manufacturing processes across the globe. The contamination results in the deterioration of the formula by breaking down active ingredients and excipients, affecting the potency, stability, and efficacy of the product.
- If overlooked further, the presence of pathogens can lead to serious health threats to the one who is consuming it. In the cosmetics industry too, the threat hovers over the products. Therefore, screening of raw material and implementing strict hygiene practices are the best way to assure low contamination levels at the time of manufacturing.
Parameters Tested In Microbial Testing
Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics contain a lot of impurities, and to keep these contaminants at bay, regulatory bodies like FDA (Food & Drug Administration) have issued regulations and qualifying criteria. Anacon Laboratories implement a lot of modern techniques and testing measures to identify products that are lacking in complying with the issued regulations.
