Hi Candice,
The minimum incubation time is most critical for when you are validating the method. Once you validate recovery at the minimum time, for the routine testing of the same material you can utilize the full period of incubation specified in the USP (18-24 hours in most cases). Yes the 18 hour minimum incubation time does force the microbiology lab to perform some extra planning but it can be done within the normal 8-5 work day.
Thank You,
Daniel Guntle

Subject: [PMFLIST] usp 62 suitability: working odd Night hours???
Hi All-
I'm curious what others are doing to meet the requirement in USP 62 suitability testing of "minimum incubation time" being 18 hours after a 24 hour pre-incubation time.
If your laboratory is not working around the clock hours, how are you meeting this (or are you NOT meeting this and finding it ok/reasonable?)
Our laboratory is analyzing personal care/cosmetics for TAMC/TYMC and USP 62 organisms- we have a few OTC products (creams). Guidance as it relates to an FDA GMP/GLP stance is much appreciated.
Happy to have this forum! Thanks a lot!
