Lonza Announces QC Insider™ Toolbox for Endotoxin Expertise

Walkersville, MD, USA / Cologne, Germany, 22 June 2015 – Lonza has released a new internet portal, the QC Insider™ Toolbox, to provide expert online support for the bacterial endotoxins test (BET). It offers comprehensive support tools, a wide range of training resources and a library of information that can be accessed at any time and from anywhere with internet access, to guide QC professionals through the QC process and help lead to success in endotoxin testing. The QC Insider™ Toolbox is organized into three areas – QC Insider™ Support, QC Insider™ Training and QC Insider™ Library – so that users can easily navigate directly to the resources they need.
 
The QC Insider™ Support offers one-on-one guidance and detailed information about software support, recertification and testing services, reader installation and maintenance, and workflow optimization. The QC Insider™ Training contains self-directed training resources that will help users to increase their endotoxin testing expertise, including a series of how-to videos that demonstrate different assay procedures. The QC Insider™ Library consists of technical resources, such as package inserts, quick guides, and technical tips that will help lead to success with BET.
 
Katrin Hoeck, Head of Marketing Analysis and Testing at Lonza Bioscience Solutions, said: “Now, it is easier than ever to get reliable support and information from our QC experts who face many of the same regulated manufacturing challenges as our customers do. All of the tools in the new QC Insider™ Toolbox have been compiled to provide the endotoxin testing support needed to keep QC processes on track.”
