Ensuring the microbiological safety of cosmetic and personal care products is vital. For a global manufacturer, testing grab samples to assess the bioburden content in its water system was inefficient. Switching to an on-line analyzer has significantly reduced microbial risks.

The traditional plate count method for measuring microbial contamination has a number of issues, including delayed measurement and human error risks. In addition, this manufacturer of personal and health care products was also concerned about seasonal fluctuations in microbial counts.

Due to this situation, the company decided to install a METTLER TOLEDO 7000RMS bioburden analyzer in its water system. The 7000RMS is an at-line analyzer that provides real-time and continuous microbial contamination measurements without sample preparation or incubation. The expectations from implementing such technology include reducing the frequency of off-line grab sampling, optimizing water system sanitization, microbial risks analysis and preventing the need to act on false positive or false negative results.

 

Since installing the 7000RMS, the company has gained invaluable information on the root causes of its water issues. This has led to it proactively responding to microbial excursions and optimizing its water system sanitization strategies.
