In today's blog article, we’d like to take a look at sterility testing and its verification. As this is a compendial method, we should talk about verification instead of validation in this context, even though unfortunately we often still read about validation of this method. To stick with the wording, in the pharmacopoeias this is referred to as method suitability test (MST), which in my opinion fits very well 😉
