Filtration of low fouling fluids
Filter selection and sizing need not be a chore for simple, low fouling fluids.
Maintaining a low process bioburden with the help of filtration is a critical part of cGMP manufacturing. It’s as important for process buffers as it is for terminally sterilized parenterals and is routinely applied after many unit operations and before product hold steps in the manufacture of mAbs and ATMPs.
0.2 µm, sterilizing-grade filters are often used as bioburden control filters and achieve an extremely high level of bioburden control without the burden of process validation. Modern filter design and performance means this is achievable without compromise to the process.
It’s easy to add a sterilizing-grade bioburden reduction filtration step into your fluid, storage, or transfer process with standard design filter sets. These quickly combine with standard single-use transfer sets and bags to provide a complete fluid handling solution helping you to maintain a low process bioburden.
