Requirements of Sterilizing Filtration Validation
Requirements of Sterilizing Filtration Validation
The landscape for manufacture of sterile medicinal products is evolving. Sterilizing filtration requirements are changing to reflect more complex fomulations. Expectations from regulatory authorities related to the evaluation of potential impurities or leachables for polymeric components with drug contact is also on the rise. We will share our updates on how we are working with end users to support them through these challenges.
Participants will learn about:
- Regulatory and reference guidelines for filter validation and extractables and leachables evaluation
- Typical filter validation tests
- A risk assessment decision tree for E&L evaluation
- A validation services process workflow

Why the introduction of X-ray sterilization technology is a critical change for single-use industry, and how gamma and X-ray irradiation compare
The market demand for gamma irradiation, the current primary method for the sterilization in SUT, will soon significantly exceed supply, creating an urgent need for alternatives.
Join Christelle Marcoux from GSK Vaccines (BioPhorum workstream member on alternatives to gamma sterilization) and James Hathcock, PhD of Pall Corporation (Bio-Process Systems Alliance X-Ray Committee Co-Chair) as they discuss the introduction of X-ray sterilization technology.
You will learn more about:
- Why this is a critical change for industry and the responsibilities of each stakeholder
- Key questions to address for biomanufacturers
- How gamma and X-ray irradiation compare
- What testing has been completed and key milestones for readiness for industry
- An example of how to qualify a SUS sterilized with X-ray irradiation
