In pharmaceutical manufacturing, where precision and purity are paramount, every aspect of the production process must be examined to guarantee the safety and efficacy of final products. One often overlooked but crucial component is the sterility of gases and compressed air used in various stages of production. 

Microbial contamination of these gases used in drug manufacturing poses a significant threat to pharmaceutical products; introducing even minute amounts of bacteria or other microorganisms during the process can compromise the quality and safety of medications. 

Regulatory and Standards Organizations like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) have established guidelines that mandate monitoring microbial levels in the gases that come into direct or indirect contact with pharmaceutical products. 

 At Hardy Diagnostics, we understand the unique challenges of our pharmaceutical partners. We are the exclusive distributor of TRIO.BAS™ microbial air samplers in the United States, offering a comprehensive suite of microbial air monitors for compressed air and gas lines, including nitrogen, CO2, and argon.
