The ultramodern production facility in Mijdrecht, The Netherlands, is designed and equipped to meet pharmaceutical regulations, for Ready Prepared Culture Media.

Some of the most advanced equipment available is used for the production of Ready Prepared Culture Media, including special designed media preparation vessels and autoclaves, an ultrapure water system, multi-lane petri dish filling machines and touchscreen PC’s with 2D-datamatrix scanners to name a few. The facility and environmental monitoring (including microbiological and particle measurement) systems are ‘FDA 21 CFR part 11 compliant’ and manufacturing takes place in cleanrooms class 5 to 8 (conform ISO14644-1).

Today, bioTRADING offer more than 1.200 different Ready Prepared Culture media recipes. Custom specialised media can be manufactured to order in both small of large batch volumes, to a preferred recipe, bottle or tube size, or volume. Current batches range in size from small quantities of 10 petri dishes, up to batch sizes of 25.000 units.

The company’s total commitment to quality and performance was reflected in 1994, when bioTRADING successfully achieved ISO 9001 accreditation. Furthermore, partly due to many external audits being regularly undertaken at the manufacturing facility, the quality management system is adapted to FDA/cGMP/GLP; this is confirmed by any of the numerous audits carried out each year.

bioTRADING takes Corporate Social Responsibility (ISO 26000) seriously.
