Aseptic Processing Concepts
Description

Aseptic processing is utilized to prevent contamination and manufacture sterile products to ensure patient safety. Contamination of these drug products via the introduction of microorganisms, endotoxins or particulates leads to product failure, product destruction and the potential for illness or death of patients and consumers. The Aseptic Processing Concepts course provides the foundational knowledge of aseptic practices required for processing sterile products and maintaining customer safety.

In this course, students will be introduced to the regulatory requirements for sterile product manufacturing, the consequences of microbial contamination and the best practices and behaviors in a cleanroom. Students will also be introduced to additional topics related to aseptic processing such as environmental monitoring, endotoxin testing, cleaning and disinfection, cleanroom design and controls, sterilization processes, aseptic gowning, formulation and sterile filtration.
