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.
