Freeze Dryer Sterilization Using H2O2

Source: Millrock Technology

Millrock Technology is offering H2O2 AS an alternative means to steam sterilization for a freeze dryer. H2O2 Sterilization is considered a safer, more efficient and environmentally friendly method of sterilization. This method reduces investment costs as well as the sterilization cycle time and can be easily validated. H2O2 sterilizes equipment under vacuum at room temperature and therefore the freeze dryer does not require an expensive ASME rated pressure vessel. Only a very small quantity of H2O2 is used to decontaminate the freeze dryer and all associated piping on the equipment. The H2O2 process prepares the chamber, doses H2O2, and then removes and neutralizes the H2O2, leaving no residue.

Millrock has developed 3rd generation equipment with advanced control systems that makes freeze-drying a snap. Systems are available in sizes that offer maximum throughput and finished product consistency. We offer equipment as well as supporting services including protocol development, validation, and SOP's.
