Description:

This set of image represents the importance of the filtration process of removing cell debris from protein products. In the no filtration control, a funnel is used (in image A) and remains unchanged, while the filter (in image B) contains the dyed cell debris (yeast is yellow if not dyed). The result of the protein with and without filtration is a cell debris-contaminated solution (in image C) or a clear filtered solution without cell debris and only the clear protein product (in image D).
