Building on the success of our historic webinar series, RSSL in collaboration with Dr Tim Sandle will once again host a series of webinars, designed to help you stay ahead in pharmaceutical microbiology and contamination control
Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to enhance your expertise with RSSL and Dr. Tim Sandle in our latest webinar series - register your place today!
14 July
Tim is joined by Aaron and Rebecca (RSSL) for this insightful webinar diving into the important microbiological controls when restarting a facility after a period of maintenance shutdown.
The session covers:
15 September
Tim and Rebecca (RSSL) examine one of the key potential sources when it comes to risk in pharma manufacturing - raw materials.
With raw materials representing the start of the manufacturing process, they provide the opportunity for microorganisms to transfer directly into a product. It is for this reason that they must be carefully and fully considered.
This session covers:
13 October
Tim is joined by Mark (RSSL) to consider the importance of biosafety testing for biopharmaceutical products, looking at how to mitigate risks of contamination from adventitious agents (viruses, mycoplasma, bacteria, fungi) and process-related impurities.
The session covers:
24 November
The revised EU GMP Annex 1 has fundamentally changed how Environmental Monitoring (EM) should be viewed. Environmental Monitoring is no longer simply a programme for collecting microbial and particle data. Instead, it has become an integral element of the overall Contamination Control Strategy (CCS), providing evidence that contamination risks are understood, controlled and continuously reviewed.
In this webinar Tim and Rebecca (RSSL) discuss the revised EU GMP Annex and what it means for you.
The session covers:
Dr. Tim Sandle has over twenty-five years’ experience of microbiological research and biopharmaceutical processing. He is a member of several editorial boards and he has written over six hundred book chapters, peer reviewed papers and technical articles relating to microbiology. Dr. Sandle works for a pharmaceutical manufacturer in the UK, and is a visiting tutor at both the University of Manchester and UCL.
Rebecca McManus has two years’ experience at RSSL, where she works as an Account Sales Executive focused on sterile and non-sterile microbiology. Since joining the commercial team in early 2025, she has supported clients across a range of services, from microbial limit testing and sterility analysis to environmental monitoring programmes and cleaning validation, providing dedicated commercial support throughout the testing journey.
Effective contamination control starts with robust disinfectant. This webinar will guide you through designing laboratory tests to assess disinfectant efficacy, ensuring compliance with regulatory expectations and real-world application. Once laboratory testing is complete, real-world validation is crucial. Learn how to implement and execute a successful field trial in the second part of the webinar, bridging the gap between controlled lab conditions and practical application in your facility
