MICROTROL has been providing contract EtO (Ethylene oxide) sterilisation services since 1983 and their first GRS (Gamma Radiation Services) facility was commissioned in 2006.
Sterilisation is the act or process of inactivating or destroying completely, all forms of microbial life. Thus, in the case of medical devices, packaging material etc., the products, after treatment are rendered sterile and, in the case of bulk material (pharma raw material, herbs, agro produce like spices, etc.), the total bacterial load is substantially lowered and pathogens destroyed.
While the first EtO facility was established in Powai, Bombay in 1983, to meet increasing demand, MICROTROL established additional EtO facilities at: Vasai - 50 km North of Mumbai, Willingdon Island - Cochin (1993), Bangalore (1994), Faridabad (1995) and in early 2001, at Tuticorin, Edayar - (off Cochin) and Sidhpur.
Additionally, as part of backward integration, MICROTROL established a state-of-the-art EtO formulation and bottling facility at Village Mohakhurd, Dist. Thane, Maharashtra and supplies, various combinations of EtO with inert gases such as Carbon dioxide and Nitrogen in different sized cylinders.
The Faridabad facility was demobilised with the commissioning of an EtO facility at Gurgaon in April 2005 and in early 2006 MICROTROL's ninth EtO facility became operational at Baddi, Himachal Pradesh.
MICROTROL's first GRS facility was commissioned in Bangalore in 2006.
All the facilities including the GRS facility have been designed and commissioned by MICROTROL, in-house.
MICROTROL keeps pace with technological development and statutory requirements in the field. Periodic validation involving instrument calibration, commissioning, process qualification, product compatibility and microbiological qualification is carried out.
MICROTROL has maintained their leadership position by offering customers several time-bound, value-added services. MICROTROL has introduced innovative, state-of-the-art processing systems specifically designed to enhance operating efficiencies, improve turn-around time and provide greater processing flexibility.
