RAPID MICRO BIOSYSTEMS ANNOUNCES THE COMMERCIAL AVAILABILITY OF THE GROWTH DIRECT(TM) SYSTEM FOR STERILITY TESTING

New Application Significantly Reduces Time-to Result of Traditional Sterility Test

LOWELL, Mass., Oct 20 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rapid Micro Biosystems, the provider of automated, rapid, non-destructive detection and enumeration technologies in microbiology, today announced the launch of the sterility testing application for the Growth Direct™ System. The Growth Direct System automates the incubation, detection, and reporting steps for pharmaceutical quality control laboratories. The sterility test mirrors the compendial method sterility test, supporting both aerobic and anaerobic test conditions. Sterility testing joins the other application supported by the Growth Direct System, including environmental monitoring and bioburden testing. The technology is based on the detection of the natural auto-fluorescence of microorganisms, and can detect growing colonies in about half the time of the traditional 14-day sterility test, providing a significant time savings.
