Akers, Dan Larrimore and Dana Guazzo cover quality control testing of finished parenteral products in four main chapters: sterility testing, pyrogen testing, particulate matter testing and package integrity testing. The sterility chapter traces how the compendial test developed over time. It goes on to isolation chambers, robotic sterility test units, support procedures for sterility assurance and alternatives to the compendial test.
