Q

Lyophilization

A

Refers to a dehydration process for a perishable material

  • Injections are unstable
  • Extracts the water from drugs and other products = remain stable

Q

Process of Lyophilization

A

Sublimation
- Freezing the product so that the water in the product becomes ice
- Sublimating the ice directly into water vapor by applying vacuum
Drawing off the water vapor
Freeze-die products and removed from the machine

Q

Spray Dry

A

Solution of a drug is placed into the drying chamber where it passes through an atomizer that creates an aerosol of small droplets
Aerosol come sin contact with a hot sterile gas usually air
Solvent evaporates quickly

Q

Gas Sterilization

A

Exposure to ethylene oxide or propylene oxide gas
Kills by interference with the metabolism of bacterial cells (alkylating agent)
Effectiveness depends on humidity, concentration and temp
Employed to sterilize heat sensitive and moisture sensitive material

Eliminate cracks
Change disinfectants
17
Q

Clean Room and IV room Personnel

A

People: contamination
Restricted access
No talking except via phone or intercom

18
Q

Sterility Testing

A

Determine the probable sterility of a specific batch

- Direct introduction to culture medium or filtering test samples

19
Q

Pyrogen Testing

A

Cause fever, chills, pain, malaise

Quantitative biological test based on fever response in rabbits

20
Q

Limulus Amebocyte Lysate Test (LAL Test)

A

In vitro detection of pyrogen
– Horseshoe craps
Reacts with LPS

21
Q

Leaker Testing and Sealing Verification

A

1% methylene blue and applying vacuum (25 in for 25 min)

Ampoules are then washed and checked if there is any blue solution

22
Q

Clarity and Particulate Analysis

A

State or quality being clear and transparent to the eye

23
