Life Science Sterile Filtration And Optimization For Single Use Integration

This webinar focuses on how filtration manufacturers optimize materials for performance and integration within single-use systems. Sterile filtration is critical within many bioprocessing upstream and downstream steps where product performance and quality are vital. 

Sterile filtration, at a retention level of 0.2 micron, allows for the removal of microorganism and/or contaminants from product fluid streams and provides sterile effluents for further processing. To maximize performance of a filter, membrane optimization can be evaluated to enhance wettability (hydrophilicity), retention level and efficiency, and pore morphology. Moreover, a filter’s form factor and capsule design allows for maximizing critical filtration parameters (hold-up volume, flow rate, throughput, etc.) and ease of integration into single use systems. This allows for a single use assembly to be efficient while minimizing footprint and maximizing performance via connectivity, geometry, and function. 

We discuss the value of optimizing sterile filtration by design and how it integrates into single-use systems and maximizes performance.

Key learning objectives:

• Gain better understanding of manufacturing material optimization
• Understand how membrane and capsule configuration designs maximize performance
• Learn how filter designs can be integrated seamlessly into single-use systems
