SartoScale
Filter Test Disposables for Use in the Biopharmaceutical Industry
SartoScale filter test disposables are designed to perform reliable filterability trials with 47 mm flat filter discs of original filter cartridge material. The use of disposables for filtration trials avoids time consuming preparation of filter discs in stainless steel filter holders and prevents installation mistakes of the flat filter discs.
Applications
SartoScale filter test disposables are ideally suited to perform all kind of filterability trials with the target to select the optimal membrane material for a certain application or to determine the ideal combination of pre-filters and final filters with minimum product volumes.
Original Filter Material
SartoScale filter test disposables contain the original filter active material of the respective filter cartridges in order to assure reproducible test results.
Scale-up
After material selection or determination of a pre-filter | final filter scheme with SartoScale filter test disposables a scale-up for flow rate and total throughput performance of the selected materials should be done using small scale pleated capsule devices (e. g. capsules of type 150).
Optimized Design
SartoScale filter test disposables feature ultra-low hold up and dead volumes in order to perform filterability trials with minimized product volumes.
Reliability
SartoScale filter test disposables containing integrity testable membrane filters can be tested for integrity by a bubble-point test to assure reliable test results.
Zero-T-Test System
We recommend to use SartoScale filter test disposables together with our Zero-T Filter Test System in order to perform filtration trials effectively. The Zero-T-System consists of hardware and software modules which allow easy handling and installation of the SartoScale filter test disposables. Automatic data acquisition is achieved by the connection of a balance to a laptop. The software analyses automatically the incoming data for scale-up calculations.
