Our event overview

Our speaker Denischa Schmidtner will address the question of how aerobic spore-formers can be detected and identified in the German-speaking bioMérieux webinar on May 21, 2026.

• Fundamentals of spore-forming microorganisms
• How can aerobic spore-formers be detected?
• Brief overview of different identification methods (species identification)
• Excursus on LS-pedia (digital reference resource for microorganisms)

Sterility test isolators are a key element of quality assurance in pharmaceutical manufacturing. But which cleanroom classifications apply to their surrounding environment, and what regulatory requirements must be met? This presentation provides a concise overview of current guidelines and highlights the factors that matter most when designing and evaluating environmental conditions.

From gowning to microbial control, how safe is your cleanroom really?

At NZW-Sommer in Berlin, our colleague Beatrix Gehlert together with Jörg Mesenich (Dastex Group GmbH), will present practical insights through live demonstrations, highlighting what truly matters in cleanroom garments, employee qualification in line with Annex 1, and safe gowning procedures. Drawing on real-world examples and lessons learned, they will uncover common weaknesses and share practical solutions that can be implemented directly.

Agenda: 

• Herstellung Reinraumbekleidung/Reinraumwäscherei
• Reinraumbekleidungssystem/Prozess
• Anforderungen Annex 1 Mitarbeiterqualifizierung
• Festlegung Punkte und Durchführung Mitarbeiterqualifizierung
• Ankleideprozedere Demo und praktisches Abklatschen
• Keimidentifizierung und Lösungsvorschläge
• Lesson learned and watch out

When results fall outside of specifications – do you know where to start?

From November 10 to 12, 2026, the Microbiology Compliance Manager Seminar will take place at NH Hotel Collection Heidelberg, where our colleague Frank Kugler will provide practical insights into the detection of critical microorganisms and the identification of contaminants in OOS results. In addition, our colleague Sandra Räder will shed light on the requirements and challenges related to sterility testing and the handling of OOS results in this sensitive area.
