Sartoclean® CA | Maxicaps® | 0.8µm | 10"

The Sartoclean^® family is a cellulose acetate (CA) membrane based prefilter. These filters are optimized for the protection of downstream equipment and Sartobran^® cellulose acetate final filters.

Main Applications

Since the Sartoclean^® CA filters have an excessively low binding cellulose acetate membrane, they are commonly used for membrane prefiltration of:

• Plasma
• Vaccines
• mAb
• Diagnostics
• Purified protein solutions
• Biological fluids
• Preservative solvents

Benefits

• Highest product yields
• Ultra-low unspecific binding membrane
• More economical process flow
• Increased total throughput performance

Membrane

Sartoclean^® CA uses a heterogeneous double-layer membrane made of cellulose acetat. The "built-in pre-filtration" results in the highest possible total flow, so that a filter change during filtration is avoided.

Cost savings:

The use of disposable filter elements eliminates the need to invest in stainless steel filter housings. Additional costs for housing cleaning and cleaning validation are eliminated.

Flexibility

Sartoclean^® CA filters are available in a wide range of filtration areas from 4.5 cm² up to 1.8 m² and with a variety of commonly used connections to ensure easy integration into your process regardless of batch size.

Scale Up:

Consistent and predictable scale-up and scale-down procedures can be safely performed because all Sartoclean^® CA filter elements are manufactured with the same membrane type, support fleeces and construction materials.

Sterilization

Sartoclean^® CA filters have been developed for sterilization using autoclaving at 134°C | 2bar or in-line-steaming (Only filter cartridges).

Quality:

Every single element is tested for integrity to meet the highest quality requirements.

Documentation:

Sartoclean^® CA filters have been designed, developed and produced in accordance with the ISO 9001 certified quality management system. A validation manual is available in accordance with regulatory requirements.
