    Abstract: A method of aerosol integrity testing of filters, capable of detecting single defects that are less than 20 μm in diameter, and even as small as 2 μm in diameter, in liquid sterilizing grade filters such as filter cartridges. The method challenges the filter in a dry state with a particle stream of aerosol particles of the appropriate size and in the appropriate concentration, such that at least one or more of the particles in the stream will penetrate a defective region or regions within the membrane but will not penetrate in the integral region of the membrane. Wetting of the filter is not required.

    Abstract: A porous electrospun polymeric nanofiber liquid filtration medium, such as an electrospun mats, used for the removal of viral particles (e.g., parvovirus) and other particles in the 18 nm to 30 nm size range from fluid streams, having a mean flow bubble point measured with perfluorohexane above 100 psi. The electrospun medium includes nanofibers having an average fiber diameter of about 6 nm to about 13 nm, and the nanofiber liquid filtration medium has a mean pore size ranging from about 0.01 um to about 0.03 um, a porosity ranging from about 80% to about 95%, a thickness ranging from about 1 um to about 100 um, and a liquid permeability greater than about 10 LMH/psi. The high porosity of the electro-spun mats enable much higher water fluxes, thus reducing the time required to complete virus filtration steps on a fluid stream.
