Absorption spectroscopy Automation Microbial growth Media fill Media fills are simulations imitating the aseptic filling procedure with medium (tryptic soy broth [TSB]) instead of the liquid drug product. The simulation’s purpose is to identify deficiencies in the aseptic conditions during the filling process leading to microbial contamination. Several thousands of vials are filled, stoppered and crimped within one such process simulation. The fill-finished media units are normally incubated for minimally 7 days at 20–25 °C and for 7 days at 30–35 °C, followed by a visual inspection (VI) through qualified operators assessing the increase in media turbidity or abnormalities in medium appearance.
