Definition

filtration process in which a fluid is passed through a membrane

Examples

• A membrane filtration process is used to sterilize media solutions by removing microorganisms; A membrane filtration process clarifies protein solutions before column chromatography;A membrane filtration process removes aggregates and particulates from monoclonal antibody formulations;

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

Insufficient constructs are present to create a set of necessary and sufficient conditions

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

MembraneFiltrationProcess(x) → FiltrationProcess(x) ∧ ∃y (MembraneFilter(y) ∧ hasParticipantAtSomeTime(x, y))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a ‘membrane filtration process’ then x is a ‘filtration process’ that ‘has participant at some time’ some ‘membrane filter’
