Sartorius Lab Instruments GmbH & Co. KG Sartopure® GF Plus MidiCaps® and MaxiCaps® Filters 5551305P1--**

Sartopure® GF Plus MaxiCaps are self-contained, ready to use filter units for removal of contaminants like colloids, lipids, protein aggregates (Host Cell Protein) and particles from bio-pharmaceutical fluids. They are used for protection of membrane filters, chromatography- and ultrafiltration systems in pharmaceutical and biotech production processes. Applications: Sartopure® GF Plus MaxiCaps are the ideal choice for prefiltration and clarification of: – Cell Culture fluids after cell harvest – Fermentation broths – Serum free or serum containing cell culture media – Serum – All media containing lipids, colloids and protein aggregates as contaminants. Effective Clarification: Sartopure® GF Plus MaxiCaps feature glass fiber layers foreffective clarification of fluid streams based on the combination of adsorptive and mechanical retention. Economic Prefiltration: The 3-dimensional filter matrix of Sartopure® GF Plus adsorptive depth filters assures outstanding total throughput performance thus ensuring most economic design of your prefiltration scheme. Reliable Operation: The high and defined particle retention capability of Sartopure® GF Plus allows reliable operation and reproducible results from batch to batch even under varying process conditions. Cost Saving: The efficient protection of downstream membrane filters and purification equipment saves filter costs and helps to increase the yield of biotech production processes. Moreover, 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. Flexibility: Sartopure® GF Plus MaxiCaps are available with various filtration areas from 0.4 m² | 4 ft² up to 1.6 m² | 18 ft² 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 Sartopure® GF Plus filter elements are produced with the same type of membrane and identical materials of construction. Documentation: Sartopure® GF Plus MaxiCaps are designed, developed and manufactured in accordance with a ISO 9001 certified Quality Management System. A Validation Guide is available for compliance with regulatory requirements.
