Comparison of Pharmaceutical Detergents for Effective OSD Soil Cleaning

Pharmaceutical oral solid dose (OSD) manufacturers encounter many unique challenges throughout the manufacturing process, including substrate compatibility limitations and cleaning challenging soils like binding and coating agents that are used to manufacture pills, tablets and capsules.

ProKlenz® ALIGN Neutral Pharmaceutical Detergent from STERIS was developed for pharmaceutical OSD manufacturers to harmonize cleaning protocols. It features a balanced pH profile and offers effective but gentle cleaning for a wide range of process residues found in clean-in-place (CIP) and manual applications. STERIS conducted a study to determine the effectiveness of ProKlenz ALIGN Detergent when cleaning common soils found in pharmaceutical OSD manufacturing. This article will review the results of the study and the benefits of ProKlenz ALIGN Detergent compared to other detergents.
