Lonza launches QC Insider Toolbox offerings for medical device testing

Lonza has announced the launch of two new additions to its QC Insider Toolbox online portal for quality control (QC) professionals.

Designed to aid endotoxin testing on medical devices according to the latest compendial requirements, the new tools include a Medical Devices Quick Guide, a step-by-step guide that describes sampling, the extraction procedure and testing of the extract.

Additionally, a webinar recording entitled Medical Devices: Guidelines for Performing the Bacterial Endotoxins Test is also being made available.

This will further broaden the range of features available via the QC Insider Toolbox, which was launched in 2015 to provide expert online support for QC professionals at anytime and anywhere in the world.

It also offers comprehensive support tools, training resources and a library of information to expedite the success of bacterial endotoxins tests.

Katrin Hoeck, head of marketing analysis and testing at Lonza Bioscience Solutions, said: "The new tools in our QC Insider Toolbox help ensure that our QC Insider Experts are testing medical devices for endotoxin according to the current compendial requirements."
