Introduction of Sanquin Blood Supply

• Article 116:

• Partially stoppered freeze drying vials should be maintained under Grade A

conditions at all times until the stopper is fully inserted.

• Article 120:

• Vial capping can be undertaken as an aseptic process using sterilized caps

or as a clean process outside the aseptic core. Where the latter is adopted,

vials should be protected by Grade A conditions up to the point of leaving

the aseptic processing area and thereafter vials should be protected with a

Grade A air supply until the cap has been crimped.
