Containing and detecting microbial contamination in an engineering controlled aseptic environments is of utmost importance to current biotechnology Federal and international regulatory bodies. Having an effective environmental monitoring program is an essential tool for assessing aseptic drug product manufacturing and support. Controlled environments rely on a robust monitoring program to ensure aseptic conditions are maintained to federal and regulatory standards. By having a quality Environmental Monitoring program, manufacturers of drug products and laboratory personnel can be aware of any microbial contamination issues before they proliferate into the final product. This training will discuss the different types of Environmental Monitoring used currently in the biotechnology industry as
