Finally, the turn-key nature of an external team offers rapid scheduling and reporting of CGMP compliance. If your need is for a GMP audit in the related pharmaceutical industries, medical device or personal product industries we can help make internal and external lab CGMP audits an effective means to ensure compliance and to train your personnel.

However, adding to this are concerns over compounding pharmacies (USP <795> and <797>) and 503B Outsourcing Facilities and you have a situation where regulators and industry are trying to sort out the best program for a given situation.

There is a great deal of interest in the topic of "Objectionable Organisms" in the regulated industries. A central question in this topic is "how do you determine if an organism in your product is objectionable?" This has been a source of concern for years in the pharmaceutical and OTC sectors. Now it is becoming a source of concern for cosmetics manufacturers, personal care products and even compounding pharmacies.
The Microbiology Network has several national experts in non-sterile Quality Control (QC) microbiology. Let us help you come to a focused policy on objectionable organisms and procedures to meet your business needs.
The use of rapid microbiological methods (RMM) is one that has been popular in conferences and the pharma literature for over 30 years. However, this popularity in the speaking circuit has not been matched by a popularity in proactice for pharma, OTC, personal care products or medical device manufacturers. There are many contributing factors to this slow adoption, but chief among these an over-optimistic expectation for the capabilities and returns on the RMM investiment from a corporate perspective.
Let the experts at Microbiology Network, Inc. help you sort through the marketing hype of vendors and consultants alike to provide a pragmatic approach to APPROPRIATE MICROBIOLOGICAL METHODS to meet your business needs.
Insourcing technical expertise in the pharmaceutical industry is another tool in the mix for bringing badly needed talent while minimizing risk and cost. The insourced resources can be highly skilled and experienced in their technical field, and work at the facility. However, they are not employees of that company but rather a third-party contract research organization (CRO). In addition, this staff can acquired at far less cost than full-time employees or temporary workers.
