Oxoid, Experts in Microbiology
Today, the pharmaceutical industry has a vast role to play in both global health and economy. Whilst there are many routes of administration for pharmaceuticals, the industry is seeing considerable growth in sterile preparations, which are usually injected (parenterals).
The production of such drug products poses additional quality concerns – namely microbiological. Regulations covering aspects of contamination and sterility have become highly scrutinised in recent years.
Oxoid’s origins go back to the 19th century, at a time when microbiology was in its infancy. Since then, Oxoid has become one of the world's leading developers, manufacturers and distributors of microbiological culture media and other diagnostic products. With an enviable history in clinical and food microbiology,
Oxoid has taken its microbiological expertise into the pharmaceutical world and developed the products, support systems and services to work closely in this dynamic and growing area.
Oxoid continues to monitor changing and emerging regulations and standards. We offer advice and guidance to pharmaceutical microbiologists, validation staff, production personnel and many other key disciplines that are involved with protecting the quality of drug products.
With production sites in Europe, North America and Australia, and a global network of sales and technical staff, Oxoid is perfectly positioned to partner with the global pharmaceutical community.
