Sterile Liquid Filtration
Sterile Liquid filtration is critical for the pharmaceutical process in the manufacturing of drug components. The use of sterilizing grade filters in the final stage of the manufacturing process allows for a microorganism free solution. The filters need to be validated by bacterial challenge testing and subjected to a 100% non-destructed integrity tested to meet the regulatory compliance in a aseptic processing environment.
