BDP Week Featured Sessions: Progress in Better Understanding of Viral Filtration

The virus filtration step is one of the most critical and expensive steps in the biopharmaceutical process. As such it is important to be aware of the emerging technologies and advanced techniques for filtration that are being used for filtration of viruses and other contaminants that can impact the quality of your product and process.

At Biopharmceutical Development and Production Week, these sessions will highlight some of the cutting-edge technologies in the area of viral filtration with a discussion of their performance, lessons learned to date and their impact on virus filtration capabilities.  Here are a few of the top sessions highlighting virus filtration:
