A Practical Guide To Single-Use Filtration In Biopharma

In today’s fast-moving biopharmaceutical landscape, single-use systems have revolutionized production by streamlining workflows and improving efficiency. However, at the heart of these advancements lies a critical yet often underestimated component—filtration. Ensuring product purity and patient safety hinges on effective filtration, making it essential to understand both its science and application.

This guide explores the key stages of filtration in single-use systems, from pre-filtration—removing larger particles early in the process—to sterile filtration, which serves as the final barrier against harmful microorganisms. With insights into various membrane technologies and viral clearance strategies, readers will gain a deeper understanding of how to select and apply filters that suit specific biomolecules and production goals.

More than a set of technical instructions, it provides hands-on strategies to optimize flow rates, troubleshoot filtration issues, and build systems that improve yield and ensure compliance. By exploring diverse membrane technologies, viral clearance strategies, and performance considerations, users can better tailor filtration solutions to meet specific process requirements.
