Pharmaceutical Sterilization Equipment

Pharmaceutical sterilization equipment can sterilize water by destroying pathogens or can be used to produce water that meets sterility requirements for use on laboratory surfaces and in reaction vessels. Sterile or near-sterile reaction conditions are necessary to ensure the efficacy of the final drug product.

This equipment includes steam and dry heat sterilizers, and pharmaceutical autoclaves. Sterilization equipment ranges from benchtop to industrial sizes, so purchasing considerations should include the amount of floor or bench space available (for the sterilization unit and any accessories), personnel training, ongoing handling and operational considerations, and the laboratory budget.
