Event Overview:

Within this webinar, the focus will be on understanding how to size a sterilizing grade filtration process step through filterability methodologies. We will discuss the value of a pre-filter and how this can impact the sterilizing grade filter performance. The filterability methodologies evaluated will include Pmax and Vmax. Sterile filtration is a critical step within multiple market segments e.g., Bioprocessing, Medical, etc, where product performance and quality are critically important. In 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. Optimizing a filtration step is critical to ensure process, cost, and scaling efficiencies are maximized for optimal filtration performance. Moreover, filter sizing has an impact on single use design considerations with filtration integration, in PUSIT for example, are critical and need to be considered for efficient processing.
As Entegris is a leading filtration manufacturer, we will discuss the value proposition of sizing sterile filtration solutions and how it integrates into single use systems while maximizing performance.
