Fairfield, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/16/2014 -- Gibraltar Laboratories, Inc. is a Contract Research Organization, or CRO, based out of Fairfield, New Jersey. Recently, they have acquired new air-over-pressure steam sterilization technology to provide the best possible sterilization methods and services to their clients. The new steam sterilization technology furthers Gibraltar Laboratories, Inc.'s reputation as an industry leader in the fields of sterilization, sterilization validation and microbiological research and development.
Air-over-pressure steam sterilization is used within the pharmaceutical industry to sterilize products like sealed, injectable IV drugs and vaccines. The sterilization system offsets the pressure inside the air-tight injectables thus ensuring that the products will be undamaged and sterile after exposure to the pressurized steam. This system will help Gibraltar Laboratories, Inc. perform important services that improve patient safety as it safely sterilizes liquids within air-tight containers. Compared to aseptic manufacturing alone used by Biopharmaceutical, Compounding Pharmacies, the benefit of terminal sterilization after aseptic manufacturing is a 1,000-fold improved Sterility Assurance Level (SAL). Aseptic manufacturing alone results in a safety factor of 1 unit in 1,000 possibly being non-sterile. However, Air-Over-Pressure Moist Heat Steam Sterilization improves the failure rate by a factor of 1,000 meaning that the probability of a non-sterile unit is only one in one million.
Sterilization works by denaturing the proteins that microorganisms need to survive, grow and reproduce. Successful sterilization will ensure that the product is devoid of viable organisms such as bacteria, mold or fungus, while still being functional in its intended form, whether it's a drug or a prefilled syringe. Gibraltar Laboratories, Inc. is recognized for their diligent control and elimination of any and all microbial contaminants within their client's products. Clients seeking compliance with the FDA and other organizations should consider Gibraltar Laboratories, Inc. as their CRO.
As the steam's temperature within a sterilization device increases, so does the overall pressure. Gibraltar Laboratories, Inc.'s new air-over-pressure steam sterilizer will control these increases in pressure, creating an environment that is both safe for the product and also an effective countermeasure against harmful and undesirable microorganisms.
Prospective clients are urged to contact Gibraltar Laboratories, Inc. today for more information on how their CRO positively impacts clientele with their independent laboratory services and steam sterilization services. Their organization prides itself on bringing their clientele to FDA, ISO, etc. compliance and much more. Call them today at 877-315-5847.
