FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between sterilization and decontamination?

Sterilization aims to eliminate or destroy all viable microorganisms, whereas decontamination consists of reducing or eliminating a biological or microbiological risk to a defined level.

How do you choose between a batch and a continuous process?

The choice depends in particular on the volumes to be treated, production constraints, the desired level of flexibility and the process validation requirements.

Which industries use thermal treatment equipment?

Thermal treatment equipment is used in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, cosmetics and food processing industries, as well as in laboratories and research centers.

What is GMP equipment?

GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) equipment is designed to meet regulatory requirements that ensure the quality, safety and traceability of manufacturing processes.
