What measures are in place to maximize biosecurity?

All water entering our bioreactors passes through several levels of filtration.
Water is first passes into our Header Prefiltration tank. Here water recirculates through a backflushable tangential flow filter (ultrafilter) which removes sub-micron particulate and then through a UV sterilizer. Once the water leaves the Header it goes to the PBR’s control valves then finally through a 0.1 µm absolute capsule filter. This staged filtration ensures that water enters the bioreactor without contaminants.

All air entering the reactor is also sub-micron filtered down to 0.2 µm absolute using autoclavable capsule filters.
