Rapid Sterility Testing: Ensuring Safety and Speed for Short-Life Products
Presenter: Nina Moreno, MBA, SM (NRCM), Global Segment Director, Nelson Labs
Tuesday, November 11, 2025
11:15 AM – 12:00 PM CT
Location: Spotlight Stage C, Aisle 3800, Exhibit Hall
Rapid sterility testing offers significant advantages for modern manufacturing. This session will explore how an ATP-based method can strengthen product safety while accelerating release timelines. We will discuss the limitations of traditional sterility testing, the benefits of faster decision-making, and review supporting data for the new USP < 73> chapter on short-life products. In addition, we will highlight how ATP-based detection can be effectively applied to advanced modalities, including cell and gene therapies.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the limitations of conventional sterility testing methods and the advantages of rapid ATP-based detection.
- Evaluate how rapid sterility testing can enhance product safety, accelerate decision-making, and support compliance with USP for short-life products.
- Apply knowledge of ATP-based sterility testing to advanced therapies, including cell and gene therapy applications.
