Interview with Dr. Anne Wagner, Manager for Consumer Products on the Microbial Solutions team at Charles River Labs via SOFW

What are the advantages of a rapid microbial detection method?

A rapid detection method replaces subjective traditional testing with an automated analysis, giving you a “Yes/No” answer, providing critical information whether to release or hold products. Companies can reduce traditional microbial limits testing from 3-7 days down to 24 hours, streamlining production and rapidly confirming product quality with minimal changes to your current test preparation methods. In just 24 hours you’ll have actionable results for bioburden and microbial limits testing, empowering you to make a more confident decision about your products.

Moving to a rapid method can have a significant impact in the lab and operations. When you release products faster, there is a reduction of inventory and working capital requirements – savings particularly appreciated by stakeholders and financial teams. This allows improvement and optimization of warehouses and even in some cases allows you to get rid of rented locations.
