Automated Endotoxin Testing: Optimized Workflows, Increased Productivity, Improved Data Integrity
The need for accurate and dependable bacterial endotoxin testing technology is greater than ever, especially with the pharmaceutical industry increasingly focusing on the development of innovative biotherapeutics that carry a higher risk of contamination. In response, the industry is looking to improve current workflows, and now novel automated methods are emerging that show great promise for advancing endotoxin testing. Indeed, the new methods can improve laboratory efficiency and productivity, and enhance data integrity, to drive faster and more reliable delivery of high-quality, safe drugs to patients. Here, we draw from key insights shared during Lonza’s 5th annual Global Endotoxin Testing Summit to discuss the limitations associated with manual endotoxin testing methods and highlight the benefits of automation.
