The 5 Most Common Viable Sampling Errors - On Demand

With the increase in viable sampling frequency, more sterile compounding facilities are taking sample collection, incubation, and analysis in-house. This is a major undertaking that requires knowledgeable, dedicated staff to ensure not only compliance with USP General Chapter <797>, but also the incorporation of microbiological best practices that are not addressed in the chapter. This presentation will address 5 common errors that sterile compounding facilities make when taking on viable sampling and incubation. 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify potential shortcomings in your sterile compounding facility's viable sampling program.
  2. Discuss changes that can be made to the viable sampling program to ensure compliance.
  3. List industry standards and guides that aid in the development of a robust viable sampling program.
