Agreement supports customers with global manufacturing networks

October 3, 2017 (Baltimore, MD and Broadview Heights, OH) Noxilizer, Inc. and Sterigenics International LLC announce the signing of a global agreement that will make Sterigenics the exclusive worldwide provider of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) contract sterilization services, as well as feasibility and research studies, to the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device manufacturing industries.

NO2-based sterilization was first commercialized by Noxilizer in 2012. Customers prefer nitrogen dioxide sterilization for its key advantages: ultra-low temperature (10°-30°C), minimal pressure requirements, no cytotoxic residuals, and fast cycle times (2-4 hours, including aeration). NO2 sterilization opens new avenues for medical device innovation and has been shown to be particularly effective in the sterilization of prefilled syringes, drug-device combination products, and custom implants.

“We are very excited about our partnership with Sterigenics, as together we can rapidly expand NO2 sterilization capability for our customers,” states Lawrence Bruder, President & CEO of Noxilizer. “Noxilizer’s customers will now have large-scale facilities to meet their needs for contract services, redundancy and increasing volumes.”
