USP 60 Microbiological Examination Test

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance service within the scope of USP 60 standard. This standard specifies the requirements for microbiological examination.

Microorganism testing is vital to ensure that products or devices entering the human body do not cause disease during consumption, administration or use. Microbial testing at various stages of product or device manufacturing is critical to verify product quality and ensure sterilization processes are robust enough for the microbial load accumulated by a device or product experiences during manufacturing, assembly and packaging.

USP 60 or USP 62 contains the most comprehensive information on the preparation of different types of product samples (eg transdermal, oral, aerosolized, etc.) compared to USP 61. USP 61 refers to USP 62 for recommended solutions and media for microorganisms covered in USP 62 .

The USP 60 and USP 62 standards are similarly summarized. However, neither document refers to the other. Both standards detail methods for detecting certain types of microorganisms. Both describe growth promotion tests, inhibition, indication of particular strains of a particular microorganism, and product testing. However, USP 60 details tests specifically for Burkholderia Cepacia Complex. Therefore, USP 60 covers the microorganisms Burkholderia cepacia, Burkholderia cenocepacia and Burkholderia multivorans.
