TECHNICAL STERILIZATION PROCESS
Pharmaceutical sterilization is a validable process aimed at rendering a product free of viable microorganisms. This treatment aims to obtain sterility using a pharmaceutical sterilizer.

STERILIZATION METHODS
Different methods are cited and commented on in the international guides relating to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) annexed to the respective Pharmacopoeias.
WATER VAPOR: HEAT TRANSFER ASPECT
Steam has several phases: wet steam, saturated or dry steam and superheated steam. Discover the phase diagram.
REGNAULT TABLE
Discover the empirical formula giving the latent heat of vaporization of water (here saturated steam) as a function of temperature and pressure.
STERILIZING VALUE
The sterilizing value “Fo” is expressed in units of time and makes it possible to quantify the effect of a sterilizing treatment during a decontamination process.
LETHALITY TABLE
Sterilization by pharmaceutical autoclave is subject to numerous controls. Discover the lethality table used in the pharmaceutical industry.
STERILIZATION STANDARDS
Standards and guidelines for sterilization and disinfection from AFNOR and the European Pharmacopoeia in connection with STERIGENE’s activities.
