These products are manufactured to the highest standards (ISO 9001, ISO 13485) in FDA inspected facilities operating to cGMP standards. All products are supported with a wide range of highly detailed technical literature to aid their fast, easy adoption and validation within the research and manufacturing environments of the Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical markets. STERIS manufacturing facilities and quality systems are open to Customer audit and inspection upon request.

Andy Todd, European Sales Manager, STERIS commented we are delighted with Scantago's appointment, which has followed a couple of years of proactive support for the STERIS product ranges in an unofficial capacity. During that time, we have worked closely with Scantago and have been highly impressed with their experience and level of understanding of the applications for the STERIS products. Every Pharma and Biopharma Customer, regardless of size, will benefit from this knowledge and coupled with STERIS quality products and hugely important support package, we believe a winning formula has been created for the Danish market.

Tony Christensen, owner of Scantago has always considered STERIS brand and STERIS products as very interesting and valuable. From a Scantago perspective we were given the opportunity to collaborate with STERIS on the consumable business, this opportunity is a very strong complement to our core business. Tony Christensen commented we meet many Customers in the Pharma and Biopharma industry who appreciate the benefits of STERIS consumables in their production and research activities. Scantago looks forward to be a part of the value chain supplying STERIS consumables to the Danish Customers in the future."
