Annex 1 in Practice: A Scenario-Based Approach to Environmental Monitoring

How media, active air sampling and disinfection technology fit into a robust Contamination Control Strategy

Annex 1 has reshaped how sterile manufacturers think about contamination control — but turning its requirements into day-to-day decisions is where most teams get stuck. Join experts from AnalytiChem, Bioscience International and Spectral Blue for a scenario-based session that shows how microbiological media, active air sampling and disinfection technology work together as part of a single, effective Contamination Control Strategy (CCS).

Why Attend / Overview

What You'll Learn

This session is built around real-world scenarios, not product pitches. Rather than presenting media, air samplers and disinfection technology in isolation, our speakers will walk through how these elements combine to satisfy Annex 1 expectations for a documented, risk-based Contamination Control Strategy.

By the end of this webinar, you'll be able to:

  • Translate Annex 1's CCS requirements into practical, risk-based environmental monitoring decisions

  • Match microbiological media selection to specific contamination risks and monitoring objectives

  • Evaluate active air sampling technology choices against Annex 1 and Pharmacopoeia expectations for viable air monitoring

  • Understand where continuous blue-light disinfection fits within a CCS, including boundary control and support-area applications

  • Ask our panel of technical experts your own Annex 1 and CCS questions live
