Microbial Challenge Test for Sterile Product

  • 1.  Microbial Challenge Test for Sterile Product

    Posted 19-Jun-2014 09:06

    Dear Microbiologist or QA Manager:

    I have a emulsion product intended for sterile injection, but no preservative is added in the formulation.
    The FDA wants us to do microbial challenge test which is somewhat different than the AET for preserved
    injectable or product inherently antimicrobial. Do you know how to proceed with the "Microbial Challenge
    Test?" Questions like inoculation, microorganism selection, incubation time, etc.

    Best,
