Introduction to Filtration
Principles and Operation
One-Day Course
Using a combination of theory and hands-on instruction, you will learn the key procedures of filter integrity testing, how to read printouts from automatic filter-integrity testers and troubleshoot filter-integrity test processes. This two-day course covers all current filter integrity tests, including bubble point, diffusive flow and water-flow integrity testing that apply to all liquid and gas membrane filtration applications.
This two-day course covers the central elements of TFF including filter installation, basic operations covering sanitization, water permeability measurement, integrity testing as well as post-TFF procedures such as cleaning, cleaning assessments and storage.
Understand the fundamentals of TFF process operation and will be able to run an entire TFF process incuding module maintenance:
- Assess the integrity of TFF modules.
- Measure Normalized Water Permeability (NWP) to assess module cleaning effectiveness.
- Develop your own cleaning procedure.
- Establish TFF module replacement criteria.
The course is primarily designed for operators and engineers who are responsible for automatic integrity testing of sterilizing filters in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry.
