Abstract

The method is for quantification of sub-visible particles. A filter membrane is provided that has a plurality of pores defined therethrough. The pores are sealed with a sealant such as glycine or poly-vinyl alcohol (PVA). A sample droplet, containing liquid and sub-visible particles, is applied onto the filter membrane. The liquid dissolves the sealant in pores disposed directly below the sample droplet. The liquid flows through the pores in which the sealant has been dissolved and the sub-visible particles remain on top of the filter membrane. The particles are enumerated in an electron microscope.
