When Helapet met Pharmig

Last month Helapet successfully exhibited at the Pharmaceutical Microbiology Interest Group (Pharmig) Annual Conference, one of Europe’s leading microbiologist events in Nottingham, U.K.

The event received a great turnout, with plenty of positive interest from leading professionals in both the healthcare and microbiology industries. Hot topics covered included cleanroom behaviour, managing bioburden strategies and approaching quality control & auditing, delivered by leading microbiology experts.

The Helapet team enjoyed showcasing our exclusive Berner cytotoxic protective gloves, our popular PharmaPack^® sterile bulk syringes and SteriClean^® sterile disinfectant range, delivering all important information and advice about our specialist cleanroom consumables.
