Final sterile filtration operations are the focus of extensive regulatory guidance to assure the safety of medicinal products for administration to patients. All sterilizing-grade filters must be tested for integrity after use, and current draft EMA EU Annex 1 requires pre-use, post-sterilization integrity tests (PUPSIT). This poster explores the use of final fill filters to achieve the following:
• Simplify PUPSIT by reducing risk of introducing microbial contaminants to the flow path
• Maximize product recovery
• Create a safer and more efficient final filtration process
