High temperature and high pressure sterilization can not only kill general bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms, but also kill spores and spores. It is a relatively reliable and widely used physical sterilization method. It is mainly used for the sterilization of high temperature resistant items, such as culture medium, metal equipment, glass, enamel, dressing, rubber and some drugs. When sterilizing, put the plastic vaccine bottle to be sterilized in the pressure cooker, the steam does not overflow when heating, and the temperature in the pressure cooker increases with the increase of steam pressure. Under the steam pressure of 103.4kPa (1.05kg/cm2), the temperature can reach 121.3℃ and maintain for 15~30 minutes, which can achieve the purpose of sterilization.

Common types of high pressure steam sterilizers include lower exhaust pressure steam sterilizers and pulse vacuum pressure steam sterilizers. The difference between the two is mainly reflected in the sterilization temperature, pressure and time, and the sterilization effect There is not much difference.
The common materials of plastic vaccine bottles include polyethylene and polypropylene. The bottles that are sterilized by high temperature and high pressure are generally polypropylene. Because compared with polyethylene, this material has good high temperature resistance. Features, can meet the temperature requirements of this sterilization method.

Precautions for ethylene oxide sterilization of plastic vaccine bottles

 Ethylene oxide is a kind of sterilizing agent, which is suitable for the sterilization of items that cannot be soaked with disinfectant, dry heat, pressure, steam and other chemical gases. It is also a common sterilization method for plastic vaccine bottles. However, ethylene oxide is flammable and explosive, so the following points need to be paid attention to during the sterilization process:

100ml PP transparent vial

1. The ethylene oxide sterilizer must be placed in a well-ventilated place. Do not place it near the fire source. In order to facilitate maintenance and regular maintenance, 51cm of space should be reserved on each side (including the top) of the ethylene oxide sterilizer. Special exhaust ducts should be installed and completely isolated from other exhaust ducts in the sterilization site.
2. Items to be sterilized must be thoroughly cleaned. Note that they cannot be cleaned with saline. There should be no water droplets or too much water on the sterilized items to avoid dilution and hydrolysis of ethylene oxide. If the packaging material is changed, it should be verified to ensure the reliability of the sterilization of the sterilized items.

3. There should be gaps on the top, bottom, left and right of the loaded items in the sterilization cabinet (the sterilized items cannot touch the cabinet wall), and the items should be placed in a metal mesh basket or on a metal net rack; the amount of items loaded should not exceed the total volume of the cabinet 80% of it.
4. Sterilization treatment: It should be carried out in accordance with the operating instructions of the manufacturer of the ethylene oxide sterilizer; select the appropriate sterilization parameters according to the type, packaging, loading volume and method of the plastic vaccine bottle.
The above points should be paid attention to when the plastic vaccine bottle is sterilized by ethylene oxide. In addition, in order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the sterilization, the ethylene oxide sterilization equipment must be regularly cleaned, repaired and debugged in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements.

The specific sterilization method to choose depends on the requirements and requirements of the veterinary drug manufacturer. Depending on the characteristics of the vaccine.

Introduction of two caps for effervescent tablet packaging

 Effervescent tablet packaging is a packaging containing vitamin effervescent tablets or chewable tablets and other dosage forms. It has good moisture resistance. According to the different packaging requirements of pharmaceutical companies, this packaging contains two types of bottle caps.

caps for effervescent tube

Spring cap: This bottle cap is characterized by a spiral spring on the cap, this spring is made of LDPE raw materials, can play a role in compressing the tablets, and avoid being broken due to various external forces during transportation. It also reduces unnecessary losses for pharmaceutical companies. The LDPE material has good flexibility. The use of this material as a coil spring will neither crush the fragmentation agent due to the too hard texture, nor cause the medicine to be poorly fixed due to the too soft texture and too small pressure. It can give full play to the spring design. The advantages. In addition, this kind of bottle cap also has a feature that it has a desiccant. Unlike ordinary medicine bottles, the effervescent tablet packaging puts the desiccant on the cap, saving space, and is a cap with moisture-proof function. .

effervescent tablet tube 84mm

Non-spring cap: This kind of bottle cap is different from the spring cap. There is no spring on the cap, but it also has a moisture-proof function. Generally, vitamin chewable tablets and small-dose candy tablets will choose this kind of cap, and some vitamin C effervescent tablet manufacturers will also use this kind of bottle cap.

The above are the two types of caps and their characteristics for effervescent tablet packaging. These two different types of caps meet the differentiated needs of pharmaceutical companies for packaging, and are also a manifestation of the continuous development and diversification of pharmaceutical packaging.

Application of Twin neck bottle in Fluorescent Leak Detector
