Sterile Compounding Lab Stations

Sterile Compounding Lab Station 04: Basic Aseptic Technique and Media Fill Testing

This station provides hands-on training in aseptic technique and media fill testing, ensuring personnel understand the principles of working in laminar airflow primary engineering controls (PECs). Participants will perform aseptic transfers using sterile technique, simulate media fill testing, and discuss best practices for maintaining first air, minimizing contamination risks, and validating aseptic compounding competency. The session will also cover USP requirements for media fill testing, incubation, and evaluation of results.

Learning Objectives

  • Demonstrate proper aseptic technique when working within a laminar airflow hood, including maintaining first air and avoiding contamination of critical sites.
  • Understand the importance of media fill testing as a competency assessment tool and its required frequency based on compounding category and oversight responsibilities.
  • Evaluate aseptic technique using key risk factors such as critical site protection, first air principles, and contamination prevention strategies.
