Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The formulation and characteristics of sterile products (parenterals and ophthalmics)
Hygienic and clean preparation, and aseptic processing.
Quality control pertinent to the sterilisation of sterile products
The mode of action, mechanistic and controls of moist heat sterilisation (autoclaving), dry heat sterilisation, filtration and gaseous sterilisation
The concepts of bioburden and overkill to sterilisation
Module Overview:
This module enables you to learn about the formulation, preparation, manufacture and quality control of sterile products. You will be able to describe and discuss the principles and practice of sterilisation and the concepts of quality assurance of sterile products.

Additional Information:The module will introduce the student to the manufacture, formulation and quality control of sterile products. The module will also describe the theory behind the sterilisation process as applied to pharmaceutical products. The module also follows the concepts provided by earlier modules to discuss the systems and devices which provide drug to the patient
