Rapid Micro Services

Unlock Operational Savings with Rapid Micro Services
If your company is outsourcing microbial testing, you can now benefit from the speed, savings and reliability of Celsis Rapid Detection, without the need to invest in capital equipment, lab space or headcount. Celsis Analytical Services offers access to  the best rapid microbial methods (RMMs) on the market and other microbial testing services to help you reduce lead times and improve customer responsiveness.

Traditional microbial testing methods require 4–8 days for micro-limits testing and 14 days or more for sterility testing. Using the Celsis Advance™ system as a primary screening provides results in as few as 24 hours after receipt of your samples. For products that typically test free of bioburden, this hold time can be shortened, allowing you to release those products quickly and safely. This translates into tremendous benefits for your company, including:

• Reduced inventory levels
• Increased cash flow
• Decreased working capital requirements
• Improved warehouse utilization
• Increased operational efficiency
• Faster response to contamination events
• Improved customer responsiveness    

Celsis can project your savings from outsourcing a rapid method with our Value Creation Model (VCM). This financial tool was co-developed with international management consulting firm Arthur D. Little and a global customer, and is now used worldwide. Ask your Celsis representative for a free, customized VCM report and see how much you can save your company.

Rapid Methods are Widely Accepted…and Encouraged
Celsis Rapid Detection is the world’s number one solution for rapid product release, used by manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, household and personal care products, and food and beverage packagers worldwide. Our rapid microbial method (RMM) is just as effective as traditional microbiological methods, yet delivers results in a fraction of the time and it is able to accommodates the widest range of products for microbial screening, including products that are non-filterable, highly colored or turbid. Our patented reagents effectively neutralize preservative systems or buffer pH levels as needed for accurate, reliable detection. With Celsis, you don’t lose the flexibility of traditional methods, you just gain speed.

Transitioning pharmaceuticals and other regulated products to a rapid method is accepted and even encouraged by global regulatory bodies, including the U.S. FDA.  To support this transition, Celsis has regulatory compliance experts on staff, as well as drug master files (DMFs) accepted by the FDA.   

Outsource Microbial Testing to Celsis Analytical Services
Celsis Analytical Services can help you realize the benefits of rapid methods faster when you outsource your validation services to our CGMP facilities. We make your validation project a priority so your company can enjoy the savings sooner.

Product samples that test positive can then be identified and enumerated via traditional methods or by using our rep-PCR system- with strain typing at the genetic level. This method is especially helpful for companies with recurrent organisms, either seasonal or adaptive, as it can help trace the source most effectively and over time. A secure and confidential online database library records the results for your company’s quality program.
