MaxiCaps is a unique new housing design concept from Sartorius that brings the benefits of single use filter elements to process scale. The incorporation of Sartobran P 0.45 µm standard filter cartridges into self contained, high quality polypropylene housings makes it possible to operate large scale filter installations without the need for filter housings. So additional costs for cleaning of housings and cleaning validation can be eliminated.Sartobran P MaxiCaps are supplied presterilied and are ready-to-use. By relying on established process validation data for Sartobran P standard cartridge elements, MaxiCaps can easily be implemented into current filtration processes. MaxiCaps are available in 10”, 20” and 30” versions allowing flexibility in process design. Sartobran P 0.45 µm rated MaxiCaps are ideally suited for bioburden and particle removal from bio-pharmaceutical solutions for protection of subsequent downstream processing equipment or sterilizing grade filters. The unique low unspecific binding capacity of the cellulose acetate membranes assures highest protein yield and rapid preservative recovery. Sartobran P filters are ideally suited for prefiltration of high value biological solutions and pharmaceuticals sensitive to adsorption as well as for final filtration of LVP´s and Buffers. Due to the "built-in prefiltration" by a 0.65 µm membrane, Sartobran P 0.45 µm filters provide excellent total throughputs and higher flow rates at low differential pressure for gentle product treatment. MaxiCaps are designed, developed and manufactured in accordance with a ISO 9001 certified Quality Management System. Each individual element is tested for integrity by Diffusion- and Bubble-Point-Test prior to be released assuring absolute reliability and a Validation Guide is available for compliance with regulatory requirements.
Applications:
Featuring extremely low adsorptive cellulose acetate membranes, Sartobran P filter elements are ideally suited for filtration of highly valuable protein solutions or solutions containing preservatives. They assure highest protein yield and rapid preservative recovery. Typical applications include:
Coagulation Factors, Albumin, IgG
Bacterial and Viral Vaccines
MAB
Bio-processed Pharmaceuticals
Diagnostics
Purified Protein Solutions
Biological Fluids
Fluids containing preservatives
Easy to Use:
Sartobran P MaxiCaps delivered as individually packed sterile units. On site, pre-use sterilization can be eliminated.
Flexibility:
Sartobran P 0.45 μm MaxiCaps are available with various filtration areas from 0.6m² | 6 ft³ up to 1.8 m³ | 18 ft³ for easy adoption to any filtration process independent from the batch size.
Scalability:
Consistent and predictable scale-up and down trials can reliably be performed as all Sartobran P filter elements are produced with the same type of membrane and identical materials of construction.
Cost Saving:
The use of the disposable capsule design concept avoids investments into stainless steel filter housings and eliminates additional costs for cleaning of housings and cleaning validation.
Quality Control:
Each individual element is tested for integrity by B.-P. and Diffusion-Test prior to be released assuring absolute reliability.
Documentation:
