In the life science segment, various substances are handled that have to fulfil different tasks. However, the challenge lies in ensuring the production process as well as product safety. The problem with the use of different substances is their possible subsequent effects or side reactions, which can be detrimental to the process, the employee or the product itself.
The general focus of life science is often on particles in a solid aggregate state, which can lead to biological contamination at high concentrations. In order to show that molecular pollutants can also cause considerable damage to various areas in the life science segment, this presentation will focus on possible solutions using molecular filtration.
To illustrate the topic, two possible sources of danger and their molecular filtration solution will be discussed in more detail. These two examples arise from different processes or areas and thus provide a broader insight into the understanding of molecular contamination in the life science segment.

• Disinfection, sterilisation, decontamination and cleaning agent - Peracetic acid
• Reaction product from the reaction of substances in the manufacture of API products - Nitrosamines
