无菌过滤

由于富含营养的环境，上游加工过程中存在很高的污染风险。在上游工作流程中，生物负载控制侧重于原材料的采购和特征描述，以防止引入&nnbsp;细胞培养操作中引入不定制剂。此外，细胞培养基要经过灭菌处理，通常是无菌过滤，或通过过滤器去除细菌和支原体，以防止它们进入生物反应器。预过滤可去除会导致灭菌过滤器早期堵塞的微粒，从而延长灭菌过滤器的使用寿命。

Tech Note: How Membrane Prefilters Enhance BioProcessing Efficiency
Milligard^® PES filters with two layers of asymmetric polyethersulfone (PES) membranes are widely used in biopharmaceutical production to remove particulates from process fluids. When used as prefilters they can increase the capacity of sterilizing filters and improve process economics.
Application Note: Cell Culture Media Filtration – Filter Selection and Sizing
This document discusses the trend in bioprocessing to enhance productivity upstream through improved cell culture media processing, highlighting the challenges posed by concentrated and complex media that can lead to premature fouling of membrane filters. It emphasizes the importance of selecting the right membrane filter, particularly addressing microbial retention, and explores the trade-offs between different filter options such as traditional sterilizing-grade filters and mycoplasma-retentive filters in minimizing bioreactor contamination risk.
Technical Note: Demonstrating Millipore Express^® SHR Mycoplasma Clearance Capability at Pilot and Production Scale over an Extended Filtration
Two studies were conducted to assess the mycoplasma retentive properties of Millipore Express^® SHR with Prefilter filters using Acholeplasma laidlawii ATCC^® 23206™, simulating typical processing parameters and operating pressures. The studies demonstrated that the filters, in both production scale and pilot scale configurations, were fully retentive when challenged with A. laidlawii at low organism challenge levels over extended filtration times.
Technical Note: Mycoplasma Clearance by Millipore Express^® SHR Filters at Pilot and Production Scales
The Millipore Express^® SHR filters, equipped with a 0.1 µm polyethersulfone (PES) sterilizing membrane, offer enhanced microbial risk reduction, particularly targeting mycoplasma contaminants in cell culture media. Retention studies demonstrated that both pilot and production-scale filters consistently provided the expected level of mycoplasma retention over extended filtration times, affirming their performance under continuous flow processing conditions.
