Sterile Bottle Filling and CGMP Compliance

Sterile Bottle Filling and CGMP Compliance
21 CFR 113 of the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR) defines aseptic processing and packaging as “the filling of a commercially sterilized cooled product into presterilized containers, followed by aseptic hermetical sealing, with a presterilized closure, in an atmosphere free of microorganisms”.  Environmental monitoring and control is essential to aseptic fill/finish processes producing food and pharmaceuticals.
