The Pallchek™ Rapid Microbiology System is the first of its type to be used in an approved protocol for microbiological applications in FDA and EMEA registered drug manufacturing processes, using the ATP bioluminescence technique. The Pallchek system can be used as a much faster alternative to conventional microbiological quality control methods, or may be used to supplement existing methods. It is also a much lower cost, more convenient option than all other rapid microbiological test methods, with equivalent or better sensitivity.
