Sartopure® PP3 Maxicaps®: Large Scale Filtration

Sartopure® PP3 Maxicaps® deliver high-performance particle retention for commercial biopharmaceutical manufacturing. This encapsulated depth filter platform is engineered to effectively protect downstream sterile filters and maximize overall process economy. Maxicaps® leverage advanced polypropylene fleece technology to ensure predictable and robust operation under production conditions.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Optimize Process Economy: The demonstrated retention capability and high throughput performance enable the downsizing of filtration areas, leading to reduced filter consumption and overall process cost savings.
  • Ensure Operational Robustness: Maxicaps® utilize multiple layers of polypropylene fleece with differing retention ratings, providing high dirt-holding capacity through fractionized fleece filtration. This design maintains effective retention performance even with varying process conditions.
  • Maximize Product Recovery: The filter elements consist entirely of polypropylene, resulting in a minimal extractable profile and low unspecific binding, which supports high product yield.
  • Broad Chemical Compatibility: The all-polypropylene construction ensures compatibility with a broad range of solvents, acids, and bases utilized in bioprocessing.

Available Formats and Retention Ratings

The Maxicaps® base product includes In-line Maxicaps® and T-Style Maxicaps® designs, tailored for production-scale environments.

  • Filter Sizes: Maxicaps® are available in standard sizes, including 10", 20", and 30" lengths.
  • Retention Ratings: Available retention ratings span from 0.45 µm up to 50 µm.
  • Connector Flexibility: Connectors include standard options such as Hose barb (O) and 1 ½" Tri-Clamp (S).

Applications

Sartopure® PP3 Maxicaps® are ideally suited for clarification and prefiltration steps requiring efficient particle removal in large-volume processes:

  • Protection of downstream membrane filtration equipment.
  • Clarification steps in vaccine production.
  • Processing of viral vectors (specifically Lentivirus).
  • Filtration of large volume parenterals and ophthalmic solutions.
  • Processing of antibiotics and solvents.
  • Processing of plasmid DNA (pDNA).
