Every two years, the A3P Microbiology days is a major event that brings together analytical microbiology professionals from the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.

For the first time, they will be held in Strasbourg on Wednesday June 26 and Thursday June 27, 2024.

True to tradition, this event will address the major opportunities and challenges for the future of analytical microbiology in our industries.

Join professionals from the pharmaceutical sector and regulatory authorities, to share and discuss best practices, regulatory developments and the development, validation, and implementation of innovative, alternative and automated technologies.

The program and structure of this event are based on the exchange and sharing of experience through:

  • – 14 oral presentations,
  • – Exhibition of key industry suppliers
  • – Interactive workshops

The main topics will be:

  • – European and American regulations relating to alternative methods and the latest changes and new texts, with the participation of pharmacopoeias representatives.
  • – Essential microbial identification methods to comply with the new Annex 1.
  • – Alternative methods in microbiology, with successful implementations and the latest innovations to come.
  • – An update on automated methods in analytical microbiology.
  • – New approaches to assessing bacterial endotoxins and pyrogenicity.

Come all to listen and to interact with all the key players and suppliers in the analytical microbiology field, which remains the fundamental element of our clean and sterile products.
