Aseptic technique is how sterile compounding prevents microbial contamination, protecting the sterility, safety and efficacy of products such as injections for patients. It relies on specialized equipment, sterile garments, careful processing and continuous cleaning.
This 60-minute introduction to aseptic technique and cleanroom behavior defines aseptic processing and compares it with terminal sterilization. You'll review proper cleaning, gowning and personnel behavior, the common sources of contamination in a cleanroom, and why cleanrooms are designed the way they are. The session also covers environmental monitoring practices and systems, and how quality systems define requirements for aseptic work and cleanroom upkeep.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Poor technique or behavior in the cleanroom puts product sterility at risk. This course shows new staff how to work correctly in a controlled environment and serves as a refresher for experienced personnel.
It suits aseptic operators, aseptic sample handlers, staff who work in a biological safety cabinet (BSC), and their managers and quality assurance counterparts.
