How Steris Surgical Solutions Supports Pharmaceutical API Manufacturing with ETO Sterilization

The pharmaceutical industry is the backbone of healthcare, ensuring the availability of life-saving drugs and therapies. Within this complex ecosystem, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) play a pivotal role as the core components of all medicines. As global and domestic demand for quality APIs continues to rise, ensuring their safety and efficacy through proper sterilization techniques is paramount.

At Steris Surgical Solutions, we take pride in contributing to this critical process by offering advanced Ethylene Oxide (ETO) sterilization services tailored to meet the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical API manufacturers in India.


 

The Growing API Manufacturing Sector in India:


India has emerged as one of the largest producers and exporters of APIs worldwide. Leading pharmaceutical companies invest significantly in developing high-quality APIs for both generic and specialized drugs. ETO sterilization for Pharmaceutical API Manufacturers like Shakti Lifesciences, Par Drugs and Chemicals, and Eugia Pharma Ltd. (a sister company of Aurobindo Pharma) exemplify the country’s expertise in this domain.


Key Characteristics of Indian API

Manufacturers:

  1. Innovation in Processes: Constant research and development to improve API yield and purity.

  2. Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to stringent global standards, including GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and ISO certifications.

  3. Cost-Efficiency: Competitive pricing due to efficient manufacturing practices and skilled labor.

  4. Global Reach: Exporting APIs to major markets, including the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions.


 

The Need for ETO sterilization for Pharmaceutical API Manufacturers


APIs are sensitive compounds that require a contamination-free environment during production and packaging. Even trace levels of contamination can compromise the efficacy and safety of drugs, making sterilization a non-negotiable step in the supply chain.


What is ETO Sterilization?

Ethylene Oxide (ETO) sterilization is a widely used method to eliminate microorganisms, ensuring that APIs and medical products remain sterile without compromising their integrity. The process involves exposing products to ethylene oxide gas under controlled conditions of temperature, humidity, and time.


Why Choose ETO Sterilization?

  1. Versatility: Suitable for complex and heat-sensitive materials.

  2. Comprehensive Sterility: Effectively eliminates bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

  3. Non-Damaging: Preserves the physical and chemical properties of APIs.


At Steris Surgical Solutions, we have perfected the ETO sterilization process to meet the unique needs of pharmaceutical manufacturers, ensuring the highest quality standards.
