In sterile drug manufacturing, the reliability of environmental monitoring and sterility testing is closely tied to the tools used to conduct them. Every time these materials are introduced into cleanrooms, isolators, or restricted access barrier systems (RABS), they can inadvertently introduce contamination, triggering lengthy investigations, production delays, and financial losses.
This infographic provides a framework for selecting media and sampling tools that preserve sterility and align with regulatory standards. It details the functional requirements for various monitoring sites, identifies how microorganisms dictate media choice, and outlines how specialized packaging configurations support aseptic entry and handling. Together, these considerations help teams reduce cross-contamination risk, strengthen compliance, and support consistent, defensible results across their operations.
