Steam-in-Place Qualification
Steam-in-Place Qualification
At Vashishta Engineering Services, we specialize in Steam-in-Place (SIP) qualification, a critical process that uses the thermal energy of saturated steam to sterilize and disinfect the interior surfaces of bioreactors, vessels, tanks, piping, filters, and associated fittings without the need for disassembly. This method ensures efficient, cost-effective, and thorough sterilization while minimizing downtime and maintaining system integrity.
Our Validation Approach:
We employ advanced thermal mapping techniques to validate the effectiveness of your SIP processes. Temperature sensors or thermocouples are strategically placed throughout the system via flanges and gaskets, eliminating the need for disassembly. This allows us to:
Monitor and record temperatures in real time.
Ensure all critical areas achieve and maintain specified temperatures and exposure times.
Identify and address potential “problem spots” for optimal sterilization.
