Validated sterilisation, coordinated through vetted UK and European partners.
We coordinate validated sterilisation with vetted partner facilities across the UK and Europe. Routing, scheduling and document handover are managed end-to-end alongside the rest of your supply.
For bulk material we recommend gamma sterilisation as the default route. Alternative validated processes can be specified.
If sterilisation occurs at finished-product stage, the chosen process and validation rest with the manufacturing company.
Sterilisation requires dose mapping at the cost of the Buyer. Bioburden, container geometry and acceptance criteria are agreed in writing per project.
Sterilisation can add up to 24 weeks onto lead time. Plan procurement windows accordingly.
Recommendation: medical-grade honey should be sterilised prior to use, or the finished end-product should be sterilised. Sterilisation is a service we coordinate — final clinical, regulatory and validation responsibility rests with the Buyer.
Every document your QMS, regulatory and audit teams will ask for.
We supply a complete documentation pack against every batch — pre-formatted for your QMS or in your own template on request.
Testing is arranged through accredited partner laboratories, including Minerva Scientific, QSI and Fera Science, or through your own nominated lab. Testing is quoted and invoiced separately.
