Rapid Micro Biosystems to Exhibit at the 2024 PDA Annual Meeting from March 25 - 27, 2024

LOWELL, Mass., March 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rapid Micro Biosystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: RPID) (the “Company”), an innovative life sciences technology company providing mission critical automation solutions to facilitate the efficient manufacturing and fast, safe release of healthcare products, today announced that it will exhibit at the 2024 Parenteral Drug Association (“PDA”) Annual Meeting from March 25 – 27, 2024 in Long Beach, CA.

This year’s PDA Annual Meeting is at the core of the inaugural PDA Week that features many events including training, roundtables, presentations and tours that address the opportunities and challenges most relevant to the future of pharmaceutical microbiology. Attendees will include global microbiology and QA/QC process professionals, regulators, academia and pharmaceutical industry consultants.

Rapid Micro’s booth, #435, will showcase the benefits of automating microbial quality control (“MQC”) testing using the Growth Direct^® System software and technology for rapid incubation, detection and enumeration.

Additionally, following the recent announcement of the upcoming availability of a Rapid Sterility application for the Growth Direct^®, the Company will be hosting a technical presentation entitled “Rapid Sterility Testing as the Critical and Final Result for Product Release,” on March 26, 2024, at 9:45 a.m. PT in Exhibit Hall A.

The presentation will include information on the new Growth Direct^® Rapid Sterility Application, which is the only fully automated, non-destructive, growth-based platform for sterility testing. This innovative solution is designed to deliver time to organism detection (“TTD”) in as little as 12 hours and final time-to-result (“TTR”) in as little as one to three days, representing a significant improvement over widely used test methods, which generally require a 14-day endpoint incubation. These results also support compelling differentiation when compared to current rapid sterility products.
