What is Microbiology Testing?

The Pharmaceutical Microbiology Testing process is triggered by work orders from research and development and/or pharmaceutical manufacturing team members. These work orders are received by laboratory technicians, who then locate, retrieve and prepare a sample of the required materials for testing. Once the appropriate materials are prepared and the lab station(s) has been sanitized, pre-test measurements (mass, properties, etc.) are taken. The test is then performed and results are recorded.
