Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials IWM: Nanopores make sterile filtration more reliable

Irregular pores, low flow rates: The plastic membrane filters used in sterile filtration do not always ensure that conditions are really sterile. Filter membranes of aluminum oxide are more reliable – the size of the nanopores can be determined with precision. Even the smallest viruses cannot pass through the membrane.     more...
