API Filters
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are the active substances in pharmaceutical products. The production of APIs typically involves biotechnological or chemical processes. In both cases, filtration is crucial for producing high-quality ingredients and pharmaceutical products. The production of APIs is subject to strict requirements, standards, and specifications, better known as the cGMP guidelines. API manufacturers must consider these guidelines when selecting an appropriate filtration system.
