I am part of an aseptic team that works together to produce a quality product. We mix medicine with water for injection to produce a mixture to then put in to syringes and then is stoppered. We then inspect for impurities. We then label and plunger rod the product. It is then sent to our general manufacturing to get boxed and shipped.
