Virosart® Media is designed to provide efficient virus filtration for cell culture media, achieving ≥ 4 log₁₀ reduction for small, non-enveloped viruses. The gamma-irradiatable devices can be easily integrated into single-use processes, providing high flow rates and capacity, ideal for efficient viral risk mitigation in the upstream biopharmaceutical processes.
Key Features
- Advanced Filtration Technology: Polyethersulfone membrane in hollow fiber format optimized for high flow rates and capacity, providing robust virus retention capabilities.
- High Flow Rates: Achieves ≥ 1000 L/m² in 4 hours, ensuring efficient filtration without compromising capacity.
- Regulatory Compliance: Manufactured under ISO 9001 certified Quality Management System and non-pyrogenic as per USP Bacterial Endotoxins standards.
- Versatile Device Formats: Compact, gamma-irradiatable capsules designed for easy integration into single-use processesAvailable in Lab scale, Mid-Scale and Process Scale as well as Maxicaps® MR format.
- Integrity Testing: Reliable integrity testing using Sartocheck® technology. Furthermore, each unit is integrity tested (except non-IT tested version of lab module, see specifications) and complies with industry standards, ensuring reliability and performance.
