| aseptic dispensing: Statistical Aspects of the Microbiological Examination of Foods Basil Jarvis, 2016-07-12 Statistical Aspects of the Microbiological Examination of Foods, Third Edition, updates some important statistical procedures following intensive collaborative work by many experts in microbiology and statistics, and corrects typographic and other errors present in the previous edition. Following a brief introduction to the subject, basic statistical concepts and procedures are described including both theoretical and actual frequency distributions that are associated with the occurrence of microorganisms in foods. This leads into a discussion of the methods for examination of foods and the sources of statistical and practical errors associated with the methods. Such errors are important in understanding the principles of measurement uncertainty as applied to microbiological data and the approaches to determination of uncertainty. The ways in which the concept of statistical process control developed many years ago to improve commercial manufacturing processes can be applied to microbiological examination in the laboratory. This is important in ensuring that laboratory results reflect, as precisely as possible, the microbiological status of manufactured products through the concept and practice of laboratory accreditation and proficiency testing. The use of properly validated standard methods of testing and the verification of 'in house' methods against internationally validated methods is of increasing importance in ensuring that laboratory results are meaningful in relation to development of and compliance with established microbiological criteria for foods. The final chapter of the book reviews the uses of such criteria in relation to the development of and compliance with food safety objectives. Throughout the book the theoretical concepts are illustrated in worked examples using real data obtained in the examination of foods and in research studies concerned with food safety. - Includes additional figures and tables together with many worked examples to illustrate the use of specific procedures in the analysis of data obtained in the microbiological examination of foods - Offers completely updated chapters and six new chapters - Brings the reader up to date and allows easy access to individual topics in one place - Corrects typographic and other errors present in the previous edition |

| aseptic dispensing: The Prokaryotes M.P. Starr, H. Stolp, H.G. Trüper, A. Balows, H.G. Schlegel, 2013-11-11 The purpose ofthis brief Foreword is to make you, the reader, hungry for the scientific feast that follows. These two volumes on the prokary otes offer a truly unique scientific menu-a comprehensive assembly of articles, exhibiting the biochemical depth and remarkable physiological and morphological diversity of prokaryote life. The size of the volumes might initially discourage the unprepared mind from being attracted to the study of prokaryote life, for this landmark assemblage thoroughly documents the wealth of present knowledge. But in confronting the reader with the state of the art, the Handbook also defines where new work needs to be done on well-studied bacteria as well as on unusual or poorly studied organisms. There are basically two ways of doing research with microbes. A classical approach is first to define the phenomenon to be studied and then to select the organism accordingly. Another way is to choose a specific organism and go where it leads. The pursuit of an unusual microbe brings out the latent hunter in all of us. The intellectual chal lenges of the chase frequently test our ingenuity to the limit. Sometimes the quarry repeatedly escapes, but the final capture is indeed a wonder ful experience. For many of us, these simple rewards are sufficiently gratifying so that we have chosen to spend our scientific lives studying these unusual creatures. |
| aseptic dispensing: Guide to Microbiological Control in Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices, Second Edition Stephen P. Denyer, Rosamund M. Baird, 2006-12-26 Microbiological matters continue to exercise considerable influence on product quality.

| aseptic dispensing: PET Radiopharmaceutical Business Andrea Pecorale, Maria Carmela Inzerillo, Piero A. Salvadori, 2024-02-20 The book tells the reader how a niche business can develop in a complex context and a peculiar market, such as that of PET radiopharmaceuticals. The narrative gathers three different views, and allows the reader to focus on multiple aspects that may remain hidden at the beginning of a PET radiotracer project. Nevertheless, many of the considerations in the book may be useful to approach other emerging high-tech fields of biomarkers and health indicators. The successful implementation of the Quality Assurance system is a key point of a PET organization, as well as skill identification and the selection of personnel in operational and managerial duties. The development of a GMP PET manufacturing site inside a public organization from an in-house hospital radiopharmacy and the hurdles to face and become a third party site in a public-private cooperation, are detailed and commented. Finally, the book discusses how a PET site can achieve great results despite limited resources, andwhat are the key strategies to choose and develop new radiotracers or ensure coexistence of multiple tracers on the market. Globally, the book provides food for thought and may be a valuable tool for professionals in the radiopharmaceuticals industry and managers at universities or hospital willing to develop a GMP PET Production site. |
