5 Accugenix - History and Market Delaware, USA (Accugenix ) S. Carolina, USA (Endosafe ) Lyon, France Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai Incheon, S. Korea Zhanjiang, China Singapore New South Wales, Australia 5

6 Accugenix - History and Market Environmental Monitoring (EM) A surveillance system that: Provides a baseline profile of a manufacturing environment Promptly identifies the sites at risk of contaminating the product Acts as an early warning system to detect possible environmental contaminants that that may impact the product Statistical data analysis over time demonstrates deviations and conformance to established limits document control Trending is performed by comparing the number of isolated colonies as well as evaluating recurrences of the same species Essential to use accurate & reproducible methods for ID 6

7 Accugenix - History and Market Federally Mandated Regulations: Product & Process Control 21 CFR (b) There shall be appropriate laboratory testing, of each batch of drug product required to be free of objectionable organisms 21 CFR (d)(6) Each lot of a component, drug product container, or closure with potential for microbiological contamination that is objectionable in view of its intended use shall be subjected to microbiological tests before use. Required to set (21 CFR ) and monitor ( ) in-process specifications for any point in the manufacturing process where control is necessary and set limits on those types of contamination that may adulterate your finished dietary supplement products For each batch, verify that the product or incoming components/ ingredients meet the specifications for identity, purity, strength and composition You must identify, verify and use an appropriately scientifically valid testing method for each established specification to determine whether the specification is met 7

8 Accugenix - History and Market Importance of Identifications It is extremely important to be able to accurately identify the organism to the species, and many times, to the strain level Permits tracking of the potential origin of the contamination Avoids delays in product release and completion of investigations The ID of microorganisms can be done through different processes, each with its own level of accuracy and reproducibility 8

9 MALDI-TOF Theory Theory and Instrument MALDI-TOF MS Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry Ion Source (MALDI) Mass Analyzer (TOF) Detector (SEM) Secondary Electron Multiplier Analysis (Mass Spectra) Process Sample preparation co-crystallization Ionization Electrode Acceleration Ionic Separation Detection Analysis laser Matrix molecule Analyte molecules 9

10 MALDI-TOF and Microbial IDs Library Comparison Sample Preparation Spectra Unknown (Ribosomal proteins) Escherichia coli Enterobacter aerogenes Sample Spotting Identification Spotted Target Plate MALDI-TOF analysis Bacillus niacini 10

11 MALDI-TOF and Microbial IDs Library Comparison Peak Lists and Match Factors Unknown Sample Library Reference Entry: Enterobacter aerogenes Match Factor = 2.84 Library Reference Entry: Brevundimonas diminuta Match Factor = 1.56 Normalized logarithmic value of: The number of peaks in the known library entry that match to peaks detected in the unknown sample. The number of peaks thin the unknown sample that match to peaks in the known library entry. The symmetry of the intensity of peaks that match between the known library entry and unknown library entry. 11

12 MALDI-TOF and Microbial IDs Requires a live, healthy organism Time and temperature constraints Sample and reagent preparation Limited entries in the reference libraries May require additional tests for an identification 12

14 Validation Due Diligence Comparison between MALDI-TOF and existing platform(s) Labor: Method: Hands-on processing time, operator training Supports ID of a broad-range of microbes Reporting: Sample throughput, Automated, Management Regulatory: Auditable, 21 CFR Part 11 Capital: Financial: Equipment (MALDI and ancillary) ROI, Upfront investment (labor from various departments to develop new service), Long-term investment (operations labor, equipment maintenance) 14

15 Validation Due Diligence Vendor Comparison Vendor: Library: Reporting: Workflow: Quality System, Training, Technical Service Size, Breadth and Development (incremental and entry independence) LIMS Integration, Development (taxonomic updates) Hands-on processing time, batch size (fixed or flexible), Throughput (see scenarios) Scenario 1: 1 plate of 96 spots per plate = 1 Run 10 min Scenario 2: 4 plates of 48 spots per plate = 1 Run 15 min 96 spots 60 min 10 min 96 spots 60 min 192 spots 180 min (3hrs) 15

16 Validation Due Diligence Fitness for Use Study Installation Qualification / Operational Qualification Instrument Software Performance Qualification Software Process Validation Instrument and Methods 16

17 Validation Fitness for Use Study Initiated Fitness for Use Studies Baseline for Accuracy, Precision, Robustness, Ruggedness, Equivalence: Approximately 1,900 sample spectra were analyzed. Study included 146 strains comprising knowns and unknowns representing organisms frequently encountered and taxonomically diverse species Examine sample storage requirements, age, sample preparation methods, target cleaning All organisms were processed on the MALDI-TOF and identified with our AccuGENX-ID 16S rrna sequencing service Identification of organisms were also generated on a VITEK 2 Compact Evaluation of the data set to ascertain the appropriate interpretation criteria to maximize accurate species-level identification 17

18 Validation Fitness for Use Study OEM s Highly Probable versus Probable Species? User Determined Interpretation Required 18

19 Validation Fitness for Use Study Accuracy: Sequencing ID compared to MALDI-TOF ID (n = 1,204) ID Agrees No ID ID Disagrees No Spectra The species-level cutoff supporting the most species-level IDs with the fewest report disagreements with sequencing IDs and no identifications =

20 Validation Fitness for Use Study Identifications with OEM software recommended match factor Identifications with Accugenix optimized match factor set to 1.75 for species-level identifications Both results were generated against the original OEM library release 20

21 Validation Fitness for Use Study These samples would be sequenced under the AccuPRO-ID service 21

22 Validation Fitness for Use Study As a result of the Fitness for Use Studies Established novel interpretation guidelines System Integration: Customized the software for reporting and interfacing with LIMS Training, SOP Development and Update Mitigated risk of unidentified samples by incorporating sequencebased identifications into the AccuPRO-ID service offer 22

28 Validation Results Successfully validated MALDI-TOF identifications for use in a cgmp environment Launched the AccuPRO-ID service offer AccuPRO-ID is a polyphasic approach to microbial identifications with MALDI-TOF and 16S sequencing, which increases quality by decreasing variability AccuPRO-ID provides a lower cost identification and a lower risk of sample mis-identifications than phenotypic methods AccuPRO-ID s is an economical, accurate and reproducible way to identify samples for non-critical EM samples Initiated MALDI-TOF library updates 28

Total Samples = 61,223 Total Species = 1,303 Accugenix entries increasing the operational performance of the MALDI platform by ~15% translates into 15% more sample results being available for tracking and trending without requiring a secondary identification technology. 45

46 Conclusion Take Home Messages Reviewed the impact of the library on Accugenix MALDI-TOF performance and our own tracking and trending. Why should you care? Accugenix services assist with customer Tracking and Trending, which is an integral part of a well-designed and executed EM program as it provides critical information about your manufacturing environment on a routine basis By increasing reporting through library development, significant changes in microbial flora can be identified sooner thereby enabling a faster review of the ongoing monitoring data and used in investigations of the excursion, affect the mitigation process and aid in root cause determination Detect the emergence of indicator organisms and Allow excursions from normal operating conditions to be identified quickly and reliably Validation of a clear species-level cutoff when analyzing MALDI-TOF IDs provides accurate and consistent species-level identifications that will result in more confidence in the T&T information 46

47 Conclusion Take Home Messages Tracking a genus-level (e.g. OEM reporting) provides good information but not detailed information Accugenix MALDI-TOF reporting provides species-level identifications, enabling the capture of bad bugs and detailed level analysis of your environment 47
