MBP - Brian Hagopian - Clear Water Consulting - Part 3 Rapid Microbiological Monitoring

In Part 3 of our water series with Brian Hagopian we discuss Rapid Microbiological Monitoring of pure water systems.    This is a technology that continues to get attention as it matures in the Pharma space. With microbiological control being so important to the modern water system in a BioPharm plant, understanding what is going on on the micro level is too important to have to always wait for a multi-day test result.   Here are some of the items we discuss:   What is the reason behind microbiological monitoring in a water system? What are you looking for?  How do we currently monitor these things? What are the shortcomings of this way of measuring for micro?  Explain what RMM is.  Why is RMM all the sudden making a splash? Is it new, or has it been around a long time?  Why does RMM make sense?  What is holding it up as an accepted technology?  What about endotoxins? How do we handle those?  What does the future look like for this new technology? Do you see it being used in another industry where it can “earn” its reputation?   Brian is an industry expert with over 30 years high purity water system design, construction, commissioning, and validation experience delivering a wide range of solutions to premiere pharmaceutical, biotech, semiconductor, research and other high technology clients.
