They re Packed in an "Operating Room"
# Here are three forms in which bulk penicillin is supplied by Chas. Pfizer & Co., Inc. for pharmaceutical manufacture. Employed i n the packaging of each are the same "operating room" precautions that are standard procedure with Pfizer i n the production of penicillin. In Pfizer's Brooklyn plants you see sign after sign that says "Sterile Area". These are "rooms" where air-conditioning is only one* of many scientific safeguards . . . where skilled workers, bacteriologists, biologists, technical and other specially trained personnel alike wear sterilized masks, gowns, and rubber gloves . . . where all glass containers and rubber stoppers are washed i n specially-prepared a n d periodicallytested pyrogen-f ree water after repeated hot water washings and prior to sterilization in autoclaves. These and other steps are part o f the Pfizer responsibility as the world's largest producer o f penicillin. They are extra precautions. T h e y protect each batch of this Pfizer antibiotic. (Each batch has to establish its potency in a series of bioassays and its non-toxicity in a series of tests.) They are part o f the "Pfizer Quality" program. Chas. Pfizer & Co., Inc., 81 Maiden Lane, N e w York 7, Ν . Υ. ; 444 West Grand Avenue, Chicago ί α , Illinois; 605 Third Street, San Francisco 7, Calif.
