- Therapeutica
- Injection solutions
- Buffer
- Biological Fluids
- Tissue culture media
- Acidic and alkaline solutions
Membrane
Sartopore® 2 uses a heterogeneous double membrane made of polyethersulfone
Compatibility
Sartopore®2 filters have been developed for sterilization using autoclaving at 134°C | 2bar. The polyethersulfone membrane is compatible within a pH range of 1-14. This makes the Sartopore® 2 filters ideal for filtering solutions with a high/low pH.
Performance
A unique pleated filter construction combined with the highly asymmetrical pore structure of the membrane enables excellent flow rates and lifetimes, particularly compared to conventional flat filter systems. By means of "integrated prefiltration" in the form of a 0.45 μm membrane, the Sartopore 2 filters achieve outstanding total flow and excellent flow rates.
Cost savings:
The use of disposable filter elements eliminates the need to invest in stainless steel filter housings. Additional costs for housing cleaning and cleaning validation are eliminated.
Flexibility
Sartopore® 2 filters are available in a wide range of filtration areas from 4.5 cm² up to 1.8 m² and with a variety of commonly used connections to ensure easy integration into your process regardless of batch size.
Scale Up:
Consistent and predictable scale-up and scale-down procedures can be performed safely because all Sartopore® filter elements are manufactured with the same membrane type and construction materials.
Quality:
Every single element is tested for integrity to meet the highest quality requirements.
Microbial Retention
Sartopore® 2 filter cartridges are validated as sterile filter cartridges according to HIMA and ASTM F-838-05 guidelines.
Documentation:
Sartopore® 2 filters have been designed, developed and produced in accordance with the ISO 9001 certified quality management system. A validation manual is available in accordance with regulatory requirements.
