What challenges does radiopharmaceutical QC present for microbiological testing?

Radiopharmaceutical QC must contend with ultra-short product half-lives, radiation hazards that can impact assay performance, and strict aseptic manufacturing requirements. These factors limit time for microbiological testing and increase the risk of false-negative results and compliance issues when using traditional methods.

How does the Growth Direct® System support radiopharmaceutical production?

The Growth Direct® System automates and digitises microbiological testing, reducing manual handling and radiation exposure, improving data integrity and traceability, and delivering faster time to result using advanced optics and early microcolony detection.

What will I learn from this radiopharmaceutical QC webinar?

The webinar explains the benefits of full workflow automation for radiopharmaceutical microbiology QC, shares ITM’s implementation journey and key evaluation considerations, and shows how Growth Direct® technology accelerates time to result while improving reliability and compliance.

Automating quality control testing for radiopharmaceutical production

On-demand webinar hosted by Kathrin Bui (Quality Control Microbiology Intern, ITM) and Johannes Oberdörfer (Senior Manager Field Application, Rapid Micro Biosystems)

Radiopharmaceuticals have extremely short shelf-lives, require strict aseptic processing, and expose analysts to radiation — making traditional microbiological testing slow, risky, and difficult.

This webinar demonstrated how rapid microbiological methods (RMM) and full workflow automation can streamline QC testing in this high-pressure environment.

What Was Covered

Key production challenges: short half-life, radiation hazards that impact assay performance, and the need for robust aseptic controls.
How Growth Direct® helps: automated, digitised microbial testing that reduces manual handling, improves safety, strengthens data integrity, and delivers faster time to result (TTR) through early microcolony detection.
Customer insight: ITM’s evaluation and implementation journey.
