QC Testing Procedures
Because of how integral the ability to monitor facilities and processes for microbial organisms is to aseptic processing, GBI has procedures for evaluating all cGMP areas and processes to ensure continuous control.
We outsource sterility testing on all final vialed products to a qualified independent safety testing lab to give our clients additional, objective assurance that their products are safe and have been manufactured in accordance with USP and CFR testing requirements. We also manage additional extended characterization testing such as peptide mapping and mass spectrometry.
Quality Assurance
Every one of our departments involved in cGMP manufacturing maintains a quality program that meets that department’s specific needs. QA is responsible for review, approval, and control of the critical processing steps, component release, and documentation made in support of cGMP manufacturing.
They also oversee audit and review, approval and release, vendor audits, cGMP training, CAPA, and biopharmaceutical quality assurance consulting with the use of validated electronic systems ensuring compliance as needed.
By building on a foundation of proper planning, performance of appropriate tasks, timely assessment, and continuous improvement of our established processes, we can support you with proper QA management systems at every step.
