Why Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing Partnered with Autima
“Storage stability data is essential for establishing the efficacy and safety of products over time. Regarding temperature and humidity within our laboratories, there can be no margin of error. All steps of the storage process are tightly controlled and accurately documented,” says Ger Mc Grath, QA Microbiologist at Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing, Sydney.
To ensure secure storage, Eurofins partnered with Autima to install between 90 and 100 temperature probes in different divisions throughout Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing laboratories. Since partnering with Autima, Eurofins BioPharma can continually ensure the preservation of client samples as well as ongoing product stability.
In the event of any temperature or humidity deviations, the Eurofins team will be automatically notified via Email, SMS and Smartphone App and can take corrective actions to rectify any potential temperature or humidity excursions.
