As 2024 comes to a close, we reflect on a year filled with progress, collaboration, and growth at SherpaPharma. From significant software developments to impactful industry events, strategic partnerships, and team expansion, we have continued to strengthen our position as a trusted leader in environmental monitoring solutions. Here is a look at some of the key milestones that shaped our year.
Software developments: what’s coming
We are excited to announce that the new SherpaPharma software release is coming in 2025. Among the key updates, users can look forward to the implementation of Feller’s Correction for active air samples, a new report format for viable samples that has been highly requested by our customers, and enhanced app functionality that includes overexposure warnings to ensure proactive monitoring, as well as the other improvements. These developments reflect our ongoing commitment to meeting industry needs and delivering innovative solutions. Stay tuned for more details as we approach the release!
Industry events: Connecting with experts worldwide
This year, SherpaPharma actively engaged with the global environmental monitoring community, participating in a range of key events alongside our trusted partners.
We exhibited at the PDA Good Aseptic Manufacturing in Stuttgart with our local partner Doenitz Prolab in May, followed by the ECA Environmental Monitoring Seminar in Copenhagen in June. In the fall, we joined A3P Conferences in Lausanne with our partner Chemie Brunschwig in September and also in Biarritz with our local partner Alliance Bio Expertise in October. Additionally, we were present at the Cleanroom Expo in Copenhagen with Miclev and also at the Pharmig UK with our partner AB Scientific, followed by the Pharmalab Germany in November.
Across the United States, SherpaPharma made an impact at two critical KENX events where Alexandra Bezilla delivered insightful presentations on Automation in EM. At the PDA Micro Conference, we showcased a poster titled “Mitigating Human Error in Environmental Monitoring Investigations”. This presentation addressed the challenges posed by human error in EM processes and demonstrated how modern digital solutions can significantly reduce errors, improve data accuracy, and streamline investigations.

Throughout the year, we hosted four successful industry webinars where we collaborated with leading experts to share valuable insights and best practices for environmental monitoring. We would like to express our gratitude to Vanessa Figueroa, Abby Roth, and Gilberto Dalmaso for participating as industry experts and sharing their invaluable experience.
A special thanks goes to Alexandra Bezilla for moderating and conducting these webinars so effectively, ensuring each session was engaging and insightful. These webinars have proven to be a key platform for fostering dialogue and innovation within the industry.
