Abstract: A sterilizing apparatus and related method are provided for sterilizing an object, such as a container. The sterilizing apparatus may include a housing, a source of fluid sterilant, a fluid sterilant station for transmitting fluid sterilant onto a surface of the object, a flow system for circulating air or gas within the housing, a system for removing fluid sterilant from the surface of the object, and a system for evacuating fluid sterilant from the housing. The container may include a body defining a storage chamber for receiving a product, and a container closure. A sealing portion may be engageable with the body to form a substantially dry hermetic seal between the container closure and body.
