Why are filters needed within the Pharmaceutical industry?

Filtration and separation processes in the pharmaceutical industry are critical, not only to ensure products are safe for patients, but also to optimise process economics and prevent loss of valuable product.

From research and development through to production, the pharmaceutical industry applies the highest quality standards to process safety.  This places extra demands on the filtration processes throughout the product manufacture. Processes can often require filtration of aggressive fluids and require significant expertise to ensure a safe product is manufactured with a safe process.
