Microbiological Quality Control 101
Overview
Quality control (QC) scientists working in biomanufacturing facilities must assure the quality of the final products by testing raw materials, supplies, packaging, production laboratories, and equipment throughout the manufacturing lifecycle.
QC scientists follow good manufacturing practice (GMP) regulations during this process to minimize contamination risks at each step of biologic production and to avoid an unusable final product. With the emergence of drug-resistant strains of microorganisms, microbiological QC testing is more important than ever.
