Biosafety Testing

Accurate, compliant,
and fast.

Endotoxin, sterility, mycoplasma, and identity testing run inside our own microbiology lab — rapid and compendial methods side by side, integrated into our full CDMO services across development, manufacturing, and testing so release data moves with your program.

around the patient.

What it is

A dedicated biosafety and microbiology panel supporting raw material, in-process, and drug-product release for cell & gene therapy programs. We pair rapid methods for fast, risk-based decisions with compendial methods for regulatory release — all under one quality system, in the same building as manufacturing.

Endotoxin

Bacterial Endotoxin · USP <85>

Quantitative LAL-based bacterial endotoxin testing to USP <85> — confirming product is free of pyrogenic contamination across raw materials, in-process samples, and final release.

Turnaround2 business days
Sterility · Rapid

Sterility by BacT/Alert

Automated, continuous microbial-detection sterility testing for faster time-to-result — supporting risk-based release decisions on short-shelf-life therapies.

Turnaround7 business days
Sterility · Compendial

Sterility by Direct Inoculation & Membrane Filtration · USP <71>

Compendial sterility testing to USP <71> — membrane filtration for filterable products, direct inoculation for matrices where filtration isn't appropriate.

Turnaround14 days
Mycoplasma · Rapid

Mycoplasma by BioFire

Rapid PCR-based mycoplasma detection delivering same-shift results — ideal for in-process checks and lot-disposition support.

Turnaround2 business days
Bioburden

Bioburden · USP <61>

Microbiological examination of nonsterile products (bioburden) to USP <61> — quantifying total viable microbial load in materials and in-process samples.

Turnaround14 days
Identity

Microbial Characterization &
Stain Typing · USP <1113>

Microbial characterization and stain typing, including Gram stain, to USP <1113> — classifying isolates to support investigations and environmental monitoring.

In-house testing
moves you faster.

Why it matters

Sending biosafety testing to an outside lab adds weeks of queue time and hand-offs to every lot. Running the panel ourselves means qualified methods ready from day one, samples tested on our cadence, and quality decisions made in the room with the manufacturing team — not across a shipping label.

In-house microbiology, raw material testing, and a release panel built around the patient — that's what lets a program move at the speed of the science.
