PDA's Mini-Training Courses Offered at INTERPHEX 2025
Tuesday, April 1
Steam Sterilization
15:00 – 15:45 EST
Steam sterilization is widely utilized in the pharmaceutical industry, being the preferred method for sterilizing direct or indirect product contact components. The session will offer a thorough overview of steam sterilization using autoclaves, covering everything from initial design to daily use in production facilities.
The session will also explore the design, various sterilization cycle options, and the development and validation of these cycles, including regulatory compliance and best practices.
Validation encompasses many activities around the sterilization cycle itself. The wrapping of the components that can impact the processing environment and final product requires further attention.
Interactive working sessions will be available to demonstrate how to apply these best practices during specified exhibit hours.
