Sterilizing pilot batches with an autoclave
In sectors such as pharmaceuticals and food manufacturing, new products undergo various tests to assess their behavior and stability, considering their composition, packaging, and components. It’s a standard procedure to produce several test batches with varied formulations to determine the optimal recipe.
In the case of both food and pharmaceutical items, tests on these batches occur before, during and after the process of sterilization or pasteurization. For those requiring sterilization, the use of an autoclave is typically the method of choice. It is worth noting, though, that while autoclaves are capable of pasteurization, there are specific devices better suited for this purpose in certain contexts.
These small-scale tests, aimed at saving resources, enable lab technicians to thoroughly assess different characteristics of the products, including taste, texture, color, and smell. In addition, the microbial stability of each version, like its shelf life or expiration date after sterilization, is carefully scrutinized. Upon identifying and gaining approval for a product variant with the best attributes, it can move forward to large-scale manufacturing.
An autoclave for pilot batches typically has a capacity of under 125 liters, adequate for the majority of testing requirements. Its compact design ensures it can be efficiently installed and operated even in laboratories where space is at a premium. Beyond their role in research and development, these autoclaves are crucial in a company’s quality assurance or production divisions, underscoring their wide-ranging utility and significance in the product development process.
