Abstract
A method for sterile dosing of vials comprises a step for fitting stopper and cap assemblies together and washing vials. The stopper/cap assembly is then fitted with its external protector and a step of sterilization in an autoclave under vacuum is then performed. A subsequent step of cooling in laminar airflow to prevent the entry of air and dosing and plugging are then performed with continuous display of the operation and taking of views with a video camera. Followed by encapsulation and re-plugging, step of marking of the glass of the vial by means of laser beams to identify time and dosing information is performed.
