Compressed Air Validation in Pharma: Particulate, Oil & Microbial Testing Protocols Compressed Air Validation in Pharma: Particulate, Oil & Microbial Testing Protocols Compressed air and gases are commonly used in pharmaceutical operations for equipment actuation, product transport, and direct contact with dosage forms. If not adequately filtered and validated, these systems pose a significant contamination risk, introducing particulates, oil vapors, and microbial contaminants into critical environments. This comprehensive guide details the validation approach for compressed air and pharmaceutical-grade gases, including nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, following global regulatory expectations. Why Validate Compressed Air Systems? Compressed gases are often in direct…
