This paper describes a systematic nine-step approach to the evaluation, equipment qualification, validation, and deployment of alternative sterility tests which can be applied by pharmaceutical companies wanting to take advantage of the numerous benefits of alternative sterility tests. Two case studies are presented to illustrate the validation and implementation approach, including statistical methods.
