Sartopure® PP3 Cartridges for Particle Retention

Sartopure® PP3 Cartridges are engineered for highly efficient particle reduction and protection of critical final filtration steps across commercial biopharmaceutical manufacturing. This advanced polypropylene fleece-based fleece filter technology delivers consistent results and high total throughput performance essential for optimizing process economics.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Optimize Process Economy: The exceptional throughput performance and effective retention capability support the downsizing of filtration areas, which can lead to reduced filter consumption and overall process cost savings.
  • Ensure Operational Robustness: Utilizing multiple layers of polypropylene fleece with differing retention ratings, the filter retains a large amount of particles due to fractionized particulate retention, providing high dirt-holding capacity. This retention capability ensures performance even under varying process conditions.
  • High Product Recovery: The construction relies exclusively on polypropylene materials (filter media, support, core, and cage), resulting in a minimal extractable profile and low unspecific binding, which maximizes product yield.
  • Adaptable Production Format: Available in standard industry lengths (10", 20", 30", and 40") to integrate efficiently into large-scale process systems.

Applications

Sartopure® PP3 Cartridges are ideally suited for clarification and prefiltration applications requiring high particle removal efficiency in large-volume processes:

  • Protection of downstream membrane filtration equipment.
  • Clarification steps in vaccine production.
  • Processing of viral vectors (specifically Lentivirus).
  • Filtration of large volume parenterals and ophthalmic solutions.
  • Processing of antibiotics and solvents.
  • Processing of plasmid DNA (pDNA).
