Sartopure® PP3 Midicaps® for Piloting and Small Scale Production
Sartopure® PP3 Midicaps® deliver high-performance particle reduction and are specifically engineered to protect critical downstream membrane filters in small-scale production environments and pilot runs. This encapsulated format leverages advanced polypropylene fleece technology for high reproducibility and efficiency, leading to optimization of process economy.
Key Features and Benefits
- Optimize Process Economy: The exceptional throughput performance and strong retention capability may enable the downsizing of required filtration areas, potentially reducing filter consumption and overall costs.
- Ensure Operational Robustness: Utilizing multiple layers of polypropylene fleece with differing retention ratings, the filter achieves high dirt-holding capacity through fractionized particulate retention. This retention capability supports consistent performance even under varying process conditions.
- Maximize Product Yield: The all-polypropylene construction minimizes the extractable profile and provides low unspecific binding, which supports elevated product recovery.
- Streamlined Process Integration: The Midicaps® design is an encapsulated filter element available in various sizes, offering convenience and compatibility for small-scale bioprocessing systems.
Applications
Sartopure® PP3 Midicaps® are an ideal choice for clarification and prefiltration steps that require effective particle removal in smaller volumes, including:
- 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).
