Milliflex Quantum System Permits Reliable Identification After Detection

The convenient system uses industry-standard membrane filtration techniques and a rapid enzymatic fluorescent staining method for the quantitative detection of viable and culturable microorganisms in filterable samples. It combines simplicity, ease-of-use, and cost-effectiveness to monitor microbiological contamination in final products, different waters (including water for injection), raw materials, and environmental samples.

• The detection method uses non-destructive technology, allowing the operator to identify, using any identification technology, the potential contaminants present in the sample if needed.
• The affordable rapid technology can be implemented with limited financial risk.
• The Milliflex Quantum system produces Colony Forming Unit (CFU) test results that perfectly correlate with traditional microbiology methods, facilitating implementation of the rapid method.
• The semi-automated equipment is simple to use and requires limited maintenance.
• The Milliflex Quantum system is sensitive, detecting and counting microorganisms down to 1 CFU per sample.
• Using the Milliflex Quantum system reduces the time to result by a factor of three to four compared to traditional microbiology methods.
• Millipore provides excellent customer service pre-sales and post-sales, like feasibility studies, method development, IQ/OQ/PQ protocols and validation services including PQ consultancy. Maintenance agreements are available to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your system.

Milliflex Rapid System Automates Microbial Detection

This automated system improves process control, product yield, and the timely release of products by allowing rapid detection of microbial contamination during manufacturing steps and processes. Based on the well-known technology of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence, the Milliflex Rapid system delivers faster results than traditional microbial detection methods.

• Automated counting using image analysis software is secure, with the software’s powerful batch reporting feature meeting the requirements of FDA Regulation 21 CFR Part 11 for Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures.
• The Milliflex Rapid system produces CFU test results that perfectly correlate with traditional microbiology methods, facilitating implementation of the rapid method.
• The Milliflex Rapid system is sensitive, detecting and counting microorganisms down to 1 CFU per sample.
• Using the Milliflex Rapid system reduces the time to result by a factor of four to five compared to traditional microbiology methods.
• Millipore provides excellent customer service pre-sales and post-sales, like feasibility studies, method development, and IQ/OQ/PQ validation protocols and validation services including PQ consultancy. Maintenance agreements are available to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your system.

MilliPROBE Combines Speed and Sensitivity for Easy Mycoplasma Detection

MilliPROBE Mycoplasma is an alternative nucleic acid-based Mycoplasma detection system that will provide you with faster, more effective detection of Mycoplasma in your bioreactor. The system provides robust and reliable Mycoplasma detection within four hours, compared to 28 days for traditional detection methods, enabling you to pinpoint contamination earlier, limit the impact of the event, and reduce downtime.

• MilliPROBE Mycoplasma is a complete solution that includes sample preparation, detection, and result interpretation.
• The closed sample preparation device coupled with Background Reduction Technology (BRT) protects your sample and assay from contamination that could lead to false positive results.
• MilliPROBE Mycoplasma is designed to meet the European Pharmacopeia 2.6.7 guidelines. The system allows you to sample up to 20mL of your bioreactor matrix, comparable to the compendial method. A full system internal control detects sample preparation or operator error and matrix inhibition.
• By amplifying rRNA, up to a 1000-fold more abundant than DNA, the Transcription-Mediated Amplification (TMA) process increases the sensitivity of the assay.
• MilliPROBE Mycoplasma is a molecular assay anyone can run, with a unique user-friendly sample preparation and semi-automated workflow with minimal hands-on time.
• Millipore provides excellent customer service both before and after your purchase, offering feasibility studies, method development, and IQ/OQ and PQ validation protocols and validation services including PQ consultancy.
