Sartopure® PP3 T-Style Maxicaps® for Production Filtration

Sartopure® PP3 T-Style Maxicaps® are engineered for highly efficient particle retention and protection of critical final filtration steps across commercial biopharmaceutical manufacturing. This advanced encapsulated depth filter platform, utilizing polypropylene fleece technology, delivers consistent results and high total throughput performance essential for optimizing process economy.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Optimize Process Economy: The demonstrated throughput performance and robust retention capability support the downsizing of required filtration areas, which can lead to reduced filter consumption and overall process cost savings.
  • Ensure Operational Robustness: Maxicaps® utilize multiple layers of polypropylene fleece with differing retention ratings, providing 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 design guarantees a minimal extractable profile and features low unspecific binding, which supports elevated product recovery.
  • Broad Chemical Compatibility: The filter elements consist entirely of polypropylene (filter material, support, core, cage, endcaps, and housing), ensuring compatibility with a broad range of solvents, acids, and bases.

Available Formats and Retention Ratings

The Sartopure® PP3 T-Style Maxicaps® format is ideally suited for large-scale production applications.

  • Sizes: Available in standard production lengths, including 10", 20", and 30".
  • Retention Ratings: Available retention ratings span from 0.45 µm up to 50 µm.
  • Connectors: Common connector combinations include Hose barb (O) and 1 ½" Tri-Clamp (Sanitary) (S).

Applications

Sartopure® PP3 T-Style Maxicaps® are typically used for clarification and prefiltration applications requiring effective particle removal in high-volume bioprocesses.

  • Protection of downstream membrane filtration equipment.
    Clarification steps in vaccine production.
  • Processing of viral vectors, specifically Lentivirus.
