Bacterial Retention Testing for Validation of Sterilizing-Grade Membrane or Quantification of Bioburden Reduction | ||
| Lit No: | SDS1009EN00 | |
| Year: | 12/2008 | |
Bacterial retention testing is required to validate retention of Millipore sterilizing-grade membrane filters with specific process fluids at the chosen filtration conditions. Millipore’s Validation Sciences Laboratories conduct testing at lab scale using scaled-down processing conditions. First, a standard test protocol is submitted to the client. Then, project specific parameters are determined by scaling down by filter area. Millipore will perform preliminary studies to determine the best test method for your process fluid and process conditions. These will require process fluid samples and may include viability, flush, flow or recovery studies. Millipore and the client sign the project specific test protocol prior to the start of testing. A standard report summarizing testing data is submitted to the client at the completion of testing.
