WHAT WE DO
BactiQuant has redefined Online Water Bioburden Analyzers (OWBA) measurements in the pharmaceutical industry, with unprecedented precision and on-time monitoring of water quality throughout the pharmaceutical processes.
We have automated and digitalized bioburden monitoring, delivering unmatched data precision to improve sanitation, enable timely decisions, and enhanced operational efficiency.
Outdated and unreliable tools for measuring viable microorganisms
The challenge
Since the early to mid-20th century, the pharmaceutical industry has continuously relied on the traditional method of bacterial enumeration to support critical decisions related to the bioburden analysis of utility and purified water (PW). This culture-based technique, grounded in decades of scientific validation, has served as the foundation for assessing microbial contamination and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards for water quality in pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.
Initially, the bacterial counting practice was the most accurate and reliable tool for measuring viable microorganisms and met quality needs for years. However, technological advancements and higher quality standards have exposed its limitations, highlighting the need for more modern, data-driven and automated approaches.
OVERCOME THESE CHALLENGES
Although traditional bacterial counting methods have long been a standard in pharmaceutical quality control procedures, they pose significant limitations within the context of modern regulatory and manufacturing demands.
Their limited detection capability, reliance on manual procedures, and prolonged time to results underscore the need for a more automated, precise, and time-efficient bioburden monitoring solution.
On time bacterial monitoring with BQ Pharma's OWBA
The solution
With BactiQuant, pharmaceutical manufacturers gain on time monitoring of water quality across production facilities, introducing a new level of process control within the supply chain. At line monitoring enables continuous feedback to production teams, eliminating the delays typically associated with traditional water quality testing, which can take days or even weeks.
Timely access to water quality data allows for faster interventions and corrective actions, significantly reducing product waste, production downtime, and overall water consumption. This proactive approach enhances operational efficiency, optimizes resource use, and contributes to higher operating margins, while also supporting greater visibility into product quality.
By integrating both our Online and Mobile Lab solutions, pharmaceutical facilities can maintain continuous oversight of water quality throughout production. The Mobile Lab further supports on-site troubleshooting, enabling swift identification and resolution of system deviations or potential contamination events.
