Steam-In-Place (SIP)

One of the most common methods for creating a sterile bioprocessing environment is the use of heat in the form of steam to eliminate unwanted organisms. Autoclaving is often impractical for large bioprocess equipment. Steam-In-Place (SIP) is an alternative sterilization method and involves sterilizing by means of steam the interior of pipes, vessels, process equipment, and associated fittings, without disassembly.
