| Source: EMLab P & K
PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - October 14, 2008) - Ewire -- The United States Pharmacopoeia (USP)
recently released a new General Chapter < 797 > providing procedures and
requirements for compounding sterile preparations. The standards in USP 797
apply to all people and facilities that prepare "compounding sterile
preparations" including pharmacies, health care clinics and hospitals.
These requirements include routine biological monitoring of the compounding
area, including identification by an appropriately credentialed laboratory
of any microorganisms recovered. EMLab P&K is proud to provide analytical
lab services, customer support, and the BioCassette, a sampler with design
features advantageous for USP 797 compliance.
EMLab P&K carries AIHA EMLAP accreditation for fungal as well as bacterial
analysis in labs across the United States. Further, it developed the
BioCassette -- a patented sampling device that by design avoids high
capital expense and, importantly in the case of USP 797, is less prone to
contamination issues during the sampling process.
Belinda Vega, EMLab P&K's President, said, "EMLab P&K is not a newcomer to
USP 797. We have been providing these lab services for many years,
developed the BioCassette with its intrinsic sampling advantages, and are
staying abreast of changes in the USP 797 compliance specifications. With
our highly qualified analysts and experience in providing analysis and
support for USP 797, we are here to help CSP personnel and facilities who
are working on USP 797 compliance requirements."
EMLab P&K is recognized as one of the leading commercial indoor air quality
laboratories in North America, specializing in analyzing air and surface
samples for mold, bacteria, asbestos and allergens. EMLab P&K has received
accreditations from AIHA, A2LA, NVLAP and CA-ELAP. For more information,
