BIOTRAK REAL-TIME VIABLE PARTICLE COUNTER

The BioTrak® Real-Time Viable Particle Counter is one of the most advanced Alternative & Rapid Microbial Method (ARMM) real-time continuous microbial monitoring systems for aseptic manufacturing applications. It is a game-changer in pharmaceutical manufacturing environments that is approved by the FDA and immediately supports compliance with key directives in EU GMP Annex 1 (2022). At the centre of a Contamination Control Strategy, the BioTrak provides real-time counts of total and viable particles to reduce or eliminate aseptic interventions, improve root-cause investigations, and increase process knowledge.
