RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Internal Pressure of Sealed Containers During Autoclaving JF PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology JO PDA J Pharm Sci Technol FD Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) SP 320 OP 323 VO 44 IS 6 A1 Joyce, Martin A. A1 Lorenz, Jeffrey W. YR 1990 UL http://journal.pda.org/content/44/6/320.abstract AB The use of steam as a sterilizing media for rigid, fixed volume containers is routine. When applied to less rigorous packages this process can cause package failure and product contamination or loss. A study has been carried out verifying the validity of a previously developed equation by measuring the actual pressures generated during sterilization in a small container system.
