Contamination Control For Pharmaceutical Products: Real-World Moist-Heat-Validation Pitfalls And Proper Verification of Sterility
Moist-heat sterilization is a commonly used and widely accepted process in pharmaceutical processes. As such it is critical that it be carried out correctly. In this webinar we will address real-world observations relating to moist-heat-sterilization processes, discuss the science behind the observations, and present solutions to result in a successful validation outcome.
As a contamination-control program is meant to result in microbiologically acceptable product, usually with a sterile claim, it is also critical to be capable of demonstrating sterility. Although demonstration or verification of sterility is commonly accomplished by performance of a test for sterility via USP<71>, that test only represents one slide in the complete movie of contamination control, thus a fuller perspective of verification of sterility must be considered and will be addressed.
The format of the webinar will be an introduction to these two topics followed by a panel discussion to address your specific questions or challenges and updates in the industry.
