"From a supply chain optimization standpoint, reducing cycle time and increasing efficiency in the lab are both very important for us. The Celsis system has certainly done that. We've seen the results. We save at least two days of cycle time on each test."

"The Celsis rapid microbial method is very important... enabling us to reduce the incubation time of sterility testing so we can faster deliver products to market."

Schering-Plough (Merck)
The choice of Novartis fell on the Celsis Advance system, which is also based on ATP bioluminescence for detection of growing microorganisms. In contrast to other systems based on ATP bioluminescence, the reaction is amplified by exploiting the microbial enzyme Adenylate Kinase which converts ADP to ATP, therefore intensifying the bioluminescence reaction."

"My advice to a company that is hesitant about adopting rapid methods would be: it's not as tough as you think. The instrumentation is easy to qualify, the methodology is easy to validate and the results are reliable."
