MBP - Jeff Wassenaar - Astro Pak - All About Passivation

On Episode 10 of the Modern Biopharma Podcast, we talk with Jeff Wassenaar from AstroPak about Passivation.  Some of the questions we discuss:  How do you feel the overall knowledge of Cleaning/Passivation is in the pharmaceutical industry?  Can you give me a quick background on what Passivation is and why it is important?  How is passivation different from “derouging”? or “pickling”?  What are some of the processes you get involved in from a cleaning/passivation/derouging perspective?  Why are these processes not just automated if we know they will be necessary?  With the increasing amount of single use facilities, how is that changing the need for passivation services onsite?  Want to WATCH this episode?

Om Podcasten

The Modern BioPharma Podcast was born out of the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic and the desire to connect professionals in the pharmaceutical engineering community to the stories of others around them and what they are doing to make a difference. This industry is one of resistance to change all while life altering medicines and therapies are coming into existence that demand a different kind of manufacturing plant. The same people work on these facilities across the industry. Let's get to know each other.
