VIVASCIENCE INTRODUCES THE WORLD’S SMALLEST FILTER CAPSULE
A filter capsule has been specially designed for large volume
laboratory-scale sterile filtration. Typical applications are in the
fermentation process as well as cell culture technology and filtration of media
and buffers. The new Sartolab 150v is said to be the world’s smallest filter
capsule featuring a pleated PES membrane. Through the pleated configuration of
the membrane, a degree of miniaturisation of the capsule housing has been
achieved without making any compromises with respect to the filtration area. As
a result, Sartolab 150v has exceptionally high flow rates and total throughputs
and is extremely easy to use. The design allows the use of a diverse range of
filtrate collection flasks with neck diameters up to 60 mm.
Besides the outstanding performance specifications of Sartolab 150v, its
broad range of applications is bound to interest users. The PES membrane with a
150 cm2 filter area can be used over the entire pH range from 1-14.
Due to low adsorption rates of the membrane and housing, the Sartolab 150v
delivers the highest product yields for the filtration of expensive materials.
Every Sartolab 150v filter capsule is integrity tested in production and is
manufactured in a quality system certified for compliance with ISO 9001:2000.
