Abstract: A thermally sterilizable fluid filter (10) for concentrating substances contained in a fluid by way of micro-, nano- or ultrafiltration of the fluid, particularly for concentrating a pharmaceutical precursor and/or intermediate, in particular a vaccine, in a fluid. The fluid filter has a filter housing with a fluid inlet, a retentate outlet and a permeate outlet. A filter cartridge is arranged in the filter housing (12) and has a filter medium of a ceramic material and/or a ceramic composite material. The filter cartridge is held with axial play on the filter housing.

Abstract: A method for the manufacture of ceramic hollow fiber membranes in a spinning process by using a spinning mass, comprising the steps: providing a spinning mass formulation; providing a secondary phase; adding the secondary phase to the spinning mass formulation; manufacturing the ceramic hollow fiber membranes in a spinning process.

Abstract: A whole blood hollow fiber membrane filter medium is made of a polymeric material having pores of a pore size that ensures permeability to blood plasma or serum but retains blood cells. The whole blood hollow fiber membrane filter medium is used for filtering a whole blood sample so that blood plasma or serum passes through the whole blood hollow fiber membrane filter medium and blood cells are retained. The obtained blood plasma shows no hemolysis.
