About this Course

Using a combination of theory and hands-on instruction, participants will learn the key procedures of filter integrity testing, how to

interpret print-outs from automatic filter integrity testers and troubleshoot filter integrity test processes.

This two day course covers all current filter integrity tests, and bubble point, diffusive flow and water intrusion testing for all liquid and vent filtration applications. 

What will you be able to do after attending this course?

You will understand the fundamentals of bubble point, diffusive flow and water intrusion tests and the principles of automatic filter integrity test instruments:

• Interpret the content of an automatic filter integrity test print-out
  
• Decide when and how to test filters in-line
  
• Make appropriate decision when a filter integrity test fails
  
• Optimize your wetting procedure
  

What will you receive?

• A full set of course notes
  
• Certificate of Achievement
  

Who should attend?

This course is designed for operators or technicians who are responsible for automatic filter integrity testing of sterilizing filters in the biopharmaceutical industry

NB: Participants must complete “Operate Normal Flow Filtration Process Equipment“ course or have equivalent experience.
