LSO offers in-house, CDER-certified contract steam sterilization for drug delivery components like vials, syringes, and closures. Improve compliance and reduce delays with on-site processing and full regulatory alignment.
At Life Science Outsourcing (LSO), we offer in-house, CDER-certified steam sterilization for pharmaceutical drug delivery components—including vials, syringes, and closures. Our on-site autoclave supports validated sterilization of heat- and moisture-stable materials, providing a compliant and reliable method to eliminate microbial contaminants. With everything under one roof, we help you simplify supply chains, accelerate timelines, and maintain full control from development to commercialization.
Steam sterilization uses pressurized saturated steam to eliminate microbial life from drug-contacting components. It’s one of the most established sterilization methods in pharmaceutical manufacturing, preferred by regulatory agencies for its effectiveness and repeatability.
Our in-house 74 ft³ (2.1 m³) autoclave is equipped with air overpressure and pre-vacuum cycles, supporting a range of applications from SVP solutions to porous loads. We do not perform pharmaceutical filling, but we specialize in sterilizing primary packaging and delivery components on-site, eliminating the need to outsource sterilization to a secondary vendor.
