Achieve Efficient, Audit-Ready Bottled Water Testing
Bottled water quality programs are under constant pressure to deliver fast, reliable results while remaining aligned with regulatory expectations. Join Bio‑Rad's Field Application Scientist, Colby Yardley, for an educational webinar on practical strategies for building efficient, defensible microbiological testing programs for key indicators, including E. coli, coliforms, and P. aeruginosa. This session is designed for QA managers, microbiologists, and quality leaders working in bottled water production, testing, and quality oversight.
Wednesday
11:00 AM PT / 2:00 PM ET
Participants will gain valuable insight into:
- What E. coli, coliforms, and P. aeruginosa indicate about water quality and process hygiene
- Emerging use of Enterobacteriaceae as a broader hygiene indicator in beverage testing
- RAPID'Chromogenic Media: what they are, how they work, and their role in global beverage testing programs
- How reference and alternative methods impact time‑to‑decision and rework
- Practical ways to reduce repeat testing, interpretation issues, and workflow complexity in bottled water testing
- What third-party validation means and how it supports audit readiness
