Microbial Spoilage & Cell Culture U-5 | Free Notes

This Unit covers the microbial waste of pharmaceutical products, detailing the various types of spoilage and the factors influencing microbial growth, such as moisture, pH, temperature, and nutrient availability. It explores the sources and types of microbial contaminants, which can arise from raw materials, manufacturing environments, or packaging. The unit also outlines the methods used to assess microbial contamination and spoilage, essential for ensuring product safety and efficacy.

The next section discusses the preservation of pharmaceutical products using antimicrobial agents, including the selection of appropriate preservatives and techniques for the evaluation of microbial stability in different formulations.

The final portion introduces the cultivation of animal cells, describing the general procedure for cell culture, including primary, established, and transformed cell lines. It highlights the applications of cell culture technology in the pharmaceutical industry, such as in vaccine production, drug development, and toxicity testing, as well as its growing importance in biomedical research and biotechnology.
