Westar® RU
Westar® RU (ready-to-use) components are either steam or gamma-irradiation sterilized giving you the power to transform your pharmaceutical filling operation into a lean, efficient process. Westar RU components are sterilized and delivered to you in integrity-tested packaging systems, which may include rapid-transfer port bags, to ease the introduction of components into your filling line. With RU components, you minimize variability in your sterile operations and may even eliminate component preparation from your plant entirely.
