Contamination control for pharmaceutical products: real-world moist heat validation pitfalls

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.
