Monitoring the Sterility of Aseptic Manufacturing Equipment

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

Existing techniques for sterilizing equipment using pressurized steam are discussed. Methods for confirming the sterility of equipment are considered. A method for determining sterility based on lethality criterion is proposed, along with a structural scheme of an information and measurement system for sterilization–in–place.
