Pharmaceutical products are microbiologically tested on different culture media.
Tests like the Growth Promotion Test (PT) must be carried out according to the European Pharmacopoeia to test if the used media are of sufficient quality.
This test must be performed on each batch of culture media.
Biosisto can provide ready-made Certified Reference Materials (CRM) that you can easily use for these tests.
The specific strains in the CRM comply with the European Pharmacopeia.
