Instead of measuring turbidity, the<sub>CO2<\/sub> released by growing microorganisms is measured, which reacts with a fluorescent dye. This fluorescent dye is detected by the BACTEC\u2122 system, which identifies the sample as &#8220;positive&#8221; if a threshold value is exceeded, i.e. it indicates the growth of microorganisms.<\/p>\n<p>The method offers the advantage of real-time monitoring of the samples: The continuous fluorescence measurement makes it possible to determine to the minute when growth has occurred. Subcultivation of the sample can then be used to determine which microorganisms were present.<\/p>\n<p>This sterility test is an in-house procedure that is not based on any standard. Only liquid and unclouded samples can be analyzed. Before the process can be used, product-specific validation is required, which is individually tailored and therefore not part of the routine.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_separator sep_color=&#8221;accent&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;843798&#8243; sep_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;153877&#8243;]We will be happy to assist you with your questions about sterility testing at <a href=\"mailto:accountmanagement@gfps.de\"><strong>accountmanagement@gfps.de<\/strong><\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-nhtu&#8221; back_image=&#8221;114515&#8243; back_position=&#8221;center center&#8221; overlay_color=&#8221;accent&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;51&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; enable_bottom_divider=&#8221;default&#8221; bottom_divider=&#8221;gradient&#8221; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-114366","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Testing of solutions using the BACTEC\u2122 system (in-house procedure) - GfPS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Testing for sterility is a very important aspect of quality control for medical devices.
