35 years in Microbiological Quality Control

Cherwell Laboratories is celebrating 35 years of helping its pharmaceutical and industrial customers to maintain and run clean cleanrooms and isolators through the specialist supply of high quality microbiological media and instruments. Established in 1974, this family owned company develops and manufactures the Redipor range of prepared media products and supplies SAS microbial air sampling equipment to enable the effective monitoring of controlled environments for quality control (QC) purposes.

As a result of Cherwell’s established heritage, the Redipor brand has built a strong reputation within the pharmaceutical industry for high quality products and a flexible, efficient service. The Redipor range has long been
at the forefront of developments within the prepared media business, not only in the use of gamma irradiation, but also in establishing a productivity ratio for growth performance. This is complemented by Cherwell’s equally long experience of supplying both portable and bespoke air sampling solutions.

“In today’s competitive market our ability to supply small or large customers quickly without sacrificing quality is a must,” said Andy Whittard, Managing Director, Cherwell Laboratories. “Our knowledge and understanding of microbiological QC developed over many years means that we have built an extensive range of products for all environmental monitoring needs. We will continue to innovate and look at new methods and products and the involvement of our long standing customers through discussion and site visits for audits is a vital aspect of this process.”

Cherwell also celebrated its 35 years with ‘Wear it Pink’ Day on Friday 30th October. This raised £170, which was matched by the Company, in aid of Breast Cancer research.
