Workflow considerations
- Reusable laboratory filtration setups
- Suitable sterility-testing procedures
- Visual inspection during controlled test workflows
- Procedures where a reusable glass canister format is preferred
Qualification requirements
Before use, establish a written cleaning, assembly, sterilization and inspection procedure for the complete configuration. Confirm compatibility with the selected membrane and process fluids, allowable vacuum or pressure, sealing integrity, sterilization method, reuse limits and replacement criteria.
Important limitations
The canister does not by itself make a method compliant or validated. The laboratory is responsible for method suitability, contamination controls, operator training, equipment qualification and compliance with the standards or regulations applicable to its test.
