Course description
A-Z of Sterile Products Manufacture
From air change rates to Z values and everything in between!
For over 30 years we have hosted this highly participative and popular sterile products manufacturing training course. Thousands of pharmaceutical industry professionals around the world have benefitted from learning about key scientific, technical and regulatory challenges associated with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) of sterile products manufacturing. Whether you need to meet EU, FDA or any other regulatory agencys needs, this course gives you the knowledge, skills and tools to succeed.
A pharma product administered parenterally bypasses the bodys natural defense mechanisms. Consequently, any quality defect could potentially cause serious harm to the end user. Linking everything you do to providing a safe and effective formulation to the end user is critical. Our manufacturing sterile products training course concentrates on how product quality is assured via practical and interactive review of the science and compliance behind sterile products manufacturing.
