Technics validation of microbiological quality control in pharmaceutical industries:
Study of Colombian challenge
Statement of the Problem:
As happened in the entire world, Colombia’s pharmaceutical industries had been one
of the most regulated economic sectors, which has been good because of the development in the industries giving
more dynamics and reaching important levels in quality control. One year ago, INVIMA, the government entity
in charge of food and drug regulation, published a legal requirement in which all quality control laboratory has to
implement GLPs, (good laboratory practices). With this requirement, laboratories began to define processes that
assure the quality of their results. GLPs established necessity to study and formalize the microbiologist quality
control, this is the opportunity to validate techniques and show the media the real role of microbiologist in the
pharmaceutical industries.
Findings:
The first step was to understand the principal techniques to validate, with the difference that we are
talking about organisms; the approach was to physiochemical analysis and those not given all the answer to
begin the validation process. We understood that is very important to validate techniques, that the microbiologist
should know the pharmaceutical product since its manufacturing development and even the most important raw
materials characteristics; it has been critic to eliminate possible interferences. Another important point (for me
the most) is the inoculum standardization; in this process is very important to know the microorganism and its life
cycle, if you do not know how it works, it is possible that you say it is an inhibition because you do not recover
the exact quantity of inoculum.
Conclusion:
The inoculum standardization is the base of techniques validation and giving key information to
show the robustness, uncertainty and others important attributes, when you give a result in a microbiological test,
like microbiologists, we have a challenge to show how all of this is critical in the pharmaceutical quality.
