On Episode 11 of the Modern BioPharma Podcast we speak with Jeff Wassenaar of Astro Pak for Part 2 of our discussion. This time we talk about Electro Polishing.   

Here are some questions we cover in this episode: 

Talk to me about Surface Finish. Why is it so important in the Pharma space? 

When I visit a Pharma facility, there is a lot of "shiny" stainless steel, where is surface finish important? 

We hear a lot about EP or electropolish? What makes it different from mechanical polishing? Is it really better? 

I’ve heard a lot of people say if something is EP’d it doesn’t need to be “passivated”...is this true? There seems to be many that say an EP finish is the “most” passive. It seems like surface finish would be difficult to maintain. 

How do companies determine when it is worth it to remediate damage to surfaces and how is this done?
