Patent ID: 8003768

Claim:
A method for providing 20% ethanol solutions that meet bioburden and endotoxin requirements, comprising: mixing in a vessel pure ethanol with USP purified water to make a 20% ethanol solution; testing the 20% ethanol solution for compliance with a predetermined specification for bioburden and endotoxin levels for a 20% ethanol solution; providing a transportable storage means; providing connecting means connecting the vessel to the transportable storage means, the connecting means comprising tubing; providing a filter means for filtering the 20% ethanol solution, said filter means being disposed in line with the connecting means and proximal to the transportable storage means; providing closure means for closing the connecting means to stop flow from the vessel; dispensing 20% ethanol solution from the vessel into the transportable storage means through the connecting means and the filter means; providing a container for said transportable storage means; placing said transportable storage means in said container; and transporting said container and transportable storage means containing the ethanol solution from a first location to a second location, the first location being where the ethanol solution is placed in the transportable storage means and the transportable storage means is placed into the container, and the second location being where an end user uses the ethanol solution, the second location being off-site of the first location.
