Encyclopedia of Rapid Microbiological Methods, Volume 1

Volume 1 provides an overview of microbiological methods and opportunities for industry, regulatory and pharmacopoeial perspectives, and validation strategies.

Microbiologists and management alike are working together to remove the perceived barriers to implementing RMM within many companies. This three volume encyclopedia focuses on regulatory and compendial initiatives currently in place that should help pharmaceutical microbiologists begin the journey of implementing RMM in their facilities and describes the many rapid methods currently available.

The information presented in this Encyclopedia of Rapid Microbiological Methods provides the reader with a comprehensive collection of technology reviews and validation strategies that will encourage today's microbiologists to move away from centuries-old techniques and to embrace the next generation of novel, more-sensitive and rapid microbial detection platforms. Dr. Miller is optimistic that the material presented herein will provide a framework for all industry, clinical and government sectors required to evaluate the environment, products, processes and test samples for the presence of microorganisms to embrace the rapid methods that are available today, and what will be forthcoming in the years ahead.
