Additional Information
Speaker Information:
T.C. Soli, is a Ph.D. Microbiologist and President of Soli Pharma Solutions, Inc. (www.solipharmasol.com), and since becoming a full time consultant, has served consumer products and FDA-regulated industries with training and troubleshooting expertise covering water systems, sterilization, aseptic processing, microbiological and beta-lactam contamination control, microbiological laboratory operations, and has served as a pharmaceutical expert witness in several "contamination" litigations. Prior to full time consulting, he had 25 years of diverse "Big Pharma" operating company experience. During his 31+ year career he has lectured extensively at conferences, authored numerous papers and recently written several book chapters related to water system microbiology for USP, PDA and ISPE publications. He is currently serving in his third five-year term on USP Expert Committees responsible for Pharmaceutical Waters through which he authored the complete rewrite of USP Chapter <1231> which many consider to be USP's "pharmaceutical water bible".

Other information:
This broad manufacturing support role covers many areas, including routine raw material and product testing, disinfectant/sanitant qualification, water and compressed gas testing, environmental monitoring, microbiological “awareness training” of production operators, etc. Perhaps their most difficult leadership role is in contamination control investigations where product is at risk, manufacturing may be at a standstill, and the pressure to resume operation with a quick (and possibly incorrect) fix is tremendous. In these situations, the microbiology lab can either gain or lose credibility in the eyes of manufacturing management depending on the timeliness of its success in discovering and resolving the problems. This presentation will discuss these roles and how the lab can assure these activities are performed in a manner that facilitates root cause excursion investigations and avoids the lab or its personnel becoming the inadvertent cause of the excursions.
Why Should You Attend:
Someone must spearhead the effort to control a manufacturing site's microbial contamination issues. Though it typically is QA's responsibility to "assure" that production has no facility, raw material, or process contamination that could lead to product contamination, QA is not typically staffed by microbiologists who truly understand all the issues with this aspect of quality assurance. Therefore, it naturally should fall to the microbiology lab to take a lead role since likely no one else at the site has that expertise or is so intimately involved in the contamination assessment testing. Those supervising and doing this testing have a crucial role in the site's microbiological condition. They must be more than a data mill -- they must also interpret the data, even when not asked to do so. In spite of the logical role the Micro Lab can serve in proactively controlling microbial contamination on-site, there are often many impediments to their being able to assume this role. They are not insurmountable, but they must be overcome for the Labs to be able to help. Don't miss this webinar if you want to better understand how the micro lab can be more effectively utilized to prevent or head off microbial contamination issues as well as effectively resolve such problems should they have already occurred.
Areas Covered in the Session:
How contamination is controlled
Why the microbiology lab should lead in contamination control
Routine contamination evaluation activities
Microbiological training
Root cause and impact investigations
Impediments to leadership
Observed contamination correlations & doing the right thing
