Terminal Sterilisation Services

Eramol provides specialist terminal sterilisation services supporting pharmaceutical and biotech companies with GMP-compliant sterile injectable manufacturing.

Our terminal sterilisation capability combines precision fill finish within a Unidirectional Airflow (UDAF) booth with validated autoclave sterilisation cycles, delivering robust sterility assurance while protecting sensitive drug products.

As a UK-based sterile CMO, Eramol offers flexible batch sizes, high-accuracy filling, and integrated downstream services to streamline clinical and early commercial supply.

Sterile Fill Finish in a UDAF Environment

All fill finish activities for terminally sterilised products are conducted within a qualified Unidirectional Airflow (UDAF) booth, providing controlled cleanroom conditions prior to sterilisation.

Our filling process includes:

  • High-accuracy fill-to-weight technology
  • Fill volumes ranging from 0.5 mL to 10 mL
  • Maximum batch size of 10 litres
  • Typical production volumes of up to 5,000 vials

Precision fill-to-weight controls ensure dosing accuracy and minimise variability prior to terminal sterilisation.

Validated Terminal Sterilisation by Autoclave

Following fill finish, products undergo validated autoclave terminal sterilisation, providing enhanced sterility assurance compared to aseptic-only processes.

Eramol offers multiple autoclave cycle options, enabling optimisation of sterilisation parameters to protect product integrity, including:

  • Variable temperature and pressure profiles
  • Customised exposure times
  • Product-specific cycle validation

This flexibility allows us to tailor terminal sterilisation to sensitive formulations while maintaining regulatory compliance.

 

Enhanced Product Protection & Quality Assurance

To ensure container integrity and sterility assurance, Eramol performs:

  • Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT) on finished products
  • Full batch documentation and electronic data traceability
  • GMP-compliant quality oversight

Terminal sterilisation provides a high sterility assurance level (SAL), making it a preferred approach for suitable injectable products where formulation stability permits.

 

Integrated Terminal Sterilisation CMO Services

Eramol’s terminal sterilisation services are delivered within a fully integrated CMO model, including:

  • Primary and secondary packaging
  • Clinical and commercial labelling
  • In-house QC testing
  • UK, EU, US Qualified Person (QP) release
  • GMP-compliant temperature-controlled storage
  • Managed global distribution via a wide network of depots.

By integrating fill finish, terminal sterilisation, quality testing and distribution under one partner, we reduce supply chain complexity and accelerate time to clinic.

 

Flexible Clinical & Early Commercial Supply

Our terminal sterilisation capability is particularly suited to:

  • Phase I and Phase II clinical trials
  • Early commercial sterile injectable supply
  • Products suitable for autoclave sterilisation
  • Sponsors seeking enhanced sterility assurance

With batch sizes up to 10L and up to 5,000 vials per campaign, Eramol provides scalable yet flexible sterile manufacturing support.
