title: UK strategy for process qualification/validation: from concept to practical implementation.
abstract: In this communication, after a brief review of current requirements of various stages of leucodepletion qualification/validation processes, we provide some practical examples for the usefulness of long term validation programme for process improvement. It is hoped that the experience gained from this process qualification/validation enhances the awareness to key variables that can influence the overall outcome of filtration programme.
