Enhanced aerosol test for assessing filter integrity

A method of aerosol integrity testing of filters, capable of detecting single defects that are less than 20 μm in diameter, and even as small as 2 μm in diameter, in liquid sterilizing grade filters such as filter cartridges. The method challenges the filter in a dry state with a particle stream of...

description A method of aerosol integrity testing of filters, capable of detecting single defects that are less than 20 μm in diameter, and even as small as 2 μm in diameter, in liquid sterilizing grade filters such as filter cartridges. The method challenges the filter in a dry state with a particle stream of aerosol particles of the appropriate size and in the appropriate concentration, such that at least one or more of the particles in the stream will penetrate a defective region or regions within the membrane but will not penetrate in the integral region of the membrane. Wetting of the filter is not required.
