Lonza has released a suite of endotoxin-specific e-Learning Modules for its QC Insider™ Toolbox. These new e-Learning Modules are designed to deliver the technical knowledge that Quality Control professionals need to achieve success with bacterial endotoxin testing. Each interactive e-Learning Module can be taken at the learner’s convenience; and upon completion of a Knowledge Test, all learners will receive a Certificate of Completion for their training records.

The new modules can also be bundled together to create a customized training program specifically tailored to meet an individual’s needs. Basic courses such as “An Introduction to Endotoxin Testing” and “Understanding the Bacterial Endotoxins Test” can be coupled with assay-specific modules like “Working with the Gel Clot Assay” or “Working with Photometric Assays” to provide a complete training package.

“While seminars are a great way to share and acquire knowledge, they do require a significant time investment,” said Katrin Hoeck, Head of Marketing Analysis and Testing at Lonza Bioscience Solutions. “We understand that Quality Control professionals have a demanding schedule, and it is often difficult to find time to travel off-site to attend a seminar, especially without significantly interrupting their daily workflow. Lonza’s e-Learning Modules offer a simple yet highly effective solution.”

The Lonza QC Insider™ Toolbox is an internet portal that was launched in 2015 and was designed to provide expert online support for those working in bacterial endotoxin testing. It offers a wide range of comprehensive support tools, training resources and a library of information that can help to guide users through the QC process and ensure successful endotoxin testing and that can be accessed at any time and from anywhere over the internet.

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
