Sterilizing filtration is the process of removing microorganisms from a fluid stream without adversely affecting the product. Objectives of sterile filtration are safety of patients or users, minimize risk for patients, and development of more viable products with no harmful effects. Sterile filtration comprises filtration equipment and filters. These can be pre-sterilized and available in sealed packaging for main sterilization process. Filtration is one of the major processes in several industries such as pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food & beverage, and research institutes. The filtration process ensures that the products are adequately purified and are fit for consumption. It prevents loss of valuable product. Sterile filtration can be carried out by microfiltration using membrane filtration for pharmaceutical and protein solutions in medical field.
