Dry Heat Sterilization and Depyrogenation

Dry heat sterilization is an excellent option for components that are thermostable but sensitive to moisture. Stainless steel components such as stopper bowls and other aseptic processing equipment as well as thermostable polymers are good candidates for dry heat sterilization. Dry heat is the preferred method for depyrogenation. Glass vials, bottles, syringes, and other components that require a depyrogenation claim should be depyrogenated by heat. Prince has several dry heat ovens for batch processing as well as a dry heat tunnel for continuous washing, sterilization, and depyrogenation of pharmaceutical vials.

Water for injection (WFI) rinsing

Water for Injection (WFI) rinsing is a fundamental process within the pharmaceutical manufacturing space, integral to ensuring the purity and safety of pharmaceutical products.

WFI rinsing serves as a critical step in cleaning and decontaminating pharmaceutical equipment, containers, and surfaces. By rinsing with WFI, manufacturers can effectively remove residues, particulate matter, and microbial contaminants, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and ensuring product purity.

Specialized equipment and facilities that undergo routine quality control testing, monitoring, and calibration are required to produce this type of water.

Drug or medical device contact containers/devices such as syringe barrels, plungers, stoppers, seals, vials, bottles, process connectors, etc. often require WFI rinsing prior to their subsequent use downstream of the manufacturing process. Prince can support the WFI rinse, sterilization, and packaging of your product or device.
