Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) such as cell therapies, gene therapies, and tissue-engineered medicines can increase the quality control demand for manufacturers, overwhelming traditional quality control (QC) microbiology labs while severely impacting patient wellbeing and commercial viability. In this webinar, viewers will learn how rapid automated methods featuring the validated Growth Direct® System can enhance QC testing processes for superior data integrity, faster decision-making, and improved patient care. Topics include:
